Stress Management among Youth

Why People not pursue their Dreams? 1. They fear being judged by those they care about for failing. Fear of failure, in itself, is debilitating. But that fear is almost always rooted in fear of rejection or judgment from those around them.  What you need to separate is everyone else's fears (within themselves) and your own feelings. The two are not the same. 2. They give others the power to influence their decisions. Instead of asking, "What is it that I truly want?" most people give that power to others. Their parents. Their friends. Their boss.  But fast-forward 10, 20, 30 years. Will you really care what those people thought? You have to make decisions for yourself. 3. They fail once--and never try again. If you stop walking, how do you expect to get to where you want to go? Once isn't a good judge of your potential. Twice isn't either. 100 times is still not enough. It's a journey. You can never "try" too many times. 4. They only see the failure,

  I n 2017–18, the Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS), a household employment–unemployment survey providing annual estimates on key labour market indicators, reported a 45-year high in India’s open unemployment rate of 6.1%.  What was particularly alarming was that this statistic was largely a consequence of high unemployment amongst the youth, i.e. those in the 15–29 age bracket. The aggregate youth unemployment rate stood at 17.8% and has remained at above 15% in the period 2017–2020.   While the youth unemployment rates observed over the last three years are considerably higher than those witnessed ever before, it is noteworthy that even in earlier employment–unemployment surveys, the unemployment rate amongst the youth has been significantly greater than all other age groups (Figure 1). What is more, a disaggregated analysis of trends across the youth by education levels shows that unemployment rates rise with education levels. In 2018–19, before the pandemic struck, the unemploym

Exploitation under the name of experience India is facing a massive skill gap problem with hundreds of engineers graduating every year but only a few possessing the skills required in the industry now. The engineers of today are not being skilled right. This obviously reflects in the employability of the engineers -- of more than 1.5 million engineers who graduate each year 80% are unemployed and close to 45% can be made employable with the right intervention. We need to remember that these are students who have already been in a classroom kind of learning environment for their entire life till date. However, the certificates that they currently have from their engineering and other online courses does not guarantee them a job. Adding to this list are the growing numbers of experienced engineers already in the workforce whose skills are quickly becoming obsolete! It is estimated that more than half of the 4 million engineers in tech will need to be re-skilled to relevant to the industr

  Depression   What Is Depression? Depression (major depressive disorder) is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act.
