The future is with the youth of the country. Post independence youth of the nation fought corruption. Today they want to study and achieve something in life. In their pursuit of this they sometimes become frustrated, addicted to drugs, and develop addictive habits. We need to save the youth from this.

This is an often overlooked field, but sport is also medicine. The best audience to talk to is young people. The youth of Nigeria and India are a must-have resource Utilizing it for development is not a problem.”

According to a survey, 17 percent of young people suffer from anxiety and stress syndrome, while 13 suffer percent of grief and mood swings.It is important to alleviate some of these social problems through appropriate counseling and support systems, Rajephluchan said.
