In commemoration of the Year of the Youth, 1985, the Gov ernment of India decided to adopt the Youth Emblem above as the symbol for the youth of the country. The figures in the Emblem symbolise the urge in our youth for excellence, strength of character, determination, a will to surpass and yet a desire to work in unison and with a spirit of co-operation. The dove depicts peace only through which development depicted by the twig held in the beak of the dove, is possible. The circular design of the Emblem represents the universality and wholeness of life. The horizontal lines give a sense of motion to the youthful figures. 1

24 NATIONAL YOUTH POLICY

INTRODUCTION Yourti, in all ages, has been in the vanguard of progress and social change. Thirst for freedom, impatience for quicker pace of progress and a passion for innovation, coupled with idealism and creative fervour, saw the youth in the forefront of the freedom struggle in our own land. If our youth was inspired by the call of the Father of the Nation in the first half of this century, the youth of today face the challenge of economic development and technological progress with social justice. The'youth of India, representing a third of our population, constitute a vital and vibrant human resource. They have a right, os well as an obligation, to participate actively in notional development and in shaping the DESTINY OF THE NATION which is, in point of fact, their own destiny. Their problems ore many and varied and their ospirations naturally high, in a country with a great Post and greater promise fpr the future. The need, therefore, is to create increasing oppor tunities for them to develop their personality and their func tional capability and thus make them economically productive and socially useful. Such opportunities have to be created on a large scale, to cover a wide spectrum of areas of human endeavour; and they'have to be mode available to youth of all strata of society, particularly the disadvantaged. All notional program mes should be directed to enable the youth to become a pro ductive, self-confident and committed force for notional de velopment. These programmes must create adequate facilities for the all round development of youth and assist in their striving for excellence in all fields. This colls for on integral and inter-disciplinary approach, involving both government departments and organisations and sectors outside the Government such os the family, educators, leaders, voluntary agencies and youth organisa tions. The Central and State Governments hove to provide adequate mechanisms supportive of this process. It behoves the NATION, therefore, to assist youth in getting their due shore in the country's* iffe arud progress, wrhile equipping them to meet their obligations adequately. It is not on easy task, but it is a necessary task, in ¥i4tich not only the Government but the whdp nation, including individuals, in stitutions and organisations, have t^ be Wought together in a spirit of creative enterprise, as anWsaged In this NATIONAL YOUTH POLICY. OBJECTIVES The policy shall be directed towards the achievement of the following OBJECTIVES:- To instil in the youth a deep awareness of and respect for the principles and values enshrined in ovr Cdnstitution and a wit- lingness to further the ru|? of IgW, yvfth gn abiding commitment to notional integration, non-vfobnce, secularism and socialism; To promote among the y O iith ili|ld ^ r« n j^ s of our historical and cultural heritage ond ipfiU^ Hiwra with a sense of pride and notional identity, toge^h<^ with o deep coromitment towards their preservation, as well as the enrichment of the environment and ecology; To help develop in the youth qualities of discipline, self- reliance, justice and foir-ploy, a burning concern for public weal, sporting spirit and above all, a scientific temper in their modes of thinking and action wHich, inter alia, will enable them to combat supersition, obscurantism and the numerous social ills that beset the Notion; To provide the youth with maximum access to education which, in addition to developing their olround personality, imparts appropriate professional and vocational training, with a view to enabling them to avail of employment and self- employment opportunities towards the aim of BEKARI HATAO;and To moke the youth aware of international issues and involve them in promoting world peace, undierstonding and a just in ternational economic order.

PLAN OF ACTION The following shall represent the PLAN OF ACTION for the implementation of the NATIONAL YOUTH POLICY: Programmes aimed at inculcating knowledge of and respect for the CONSTITUTION OF INDIA, together with a sense of national integrity, cultural unity, democratic values and faith in socialism and secularism will form the core of all youth ac tivities. Programmes seeking to create a thorough awareness of our history, freedom struggle, national development, achieve ments of modern science and technology and their applica- blity in overcoming socio-economic constraints and achieving faster progress, without losing our cultural identity and spiritual strength, will be implemented.

Special efforts will be made to foster and develop contacts between youth from different parts of the country, with a view to inspire them to combat regionalism, communolism, linguis tic chauvinism and other divisive and fissiparous tendencies, through participation in the programme of ANTAR BHARATI

Meoningful programmes of mass education, formal and non- formal, will be undertaken, so that the bene* s of education reach all young men and women, including non-student rural youth, with particular emphasis on the dis-odvantaged sections of our society. Training programmes will be organised, aimed at imparting requisite skills to youth for self-employment, improving their employability and enhancing their productivity, while making them appreciate the dignity of labour. Programmes will be undertaken to offer opportunities to the youth for leadership training through personality develop ment and character building, and for motivating them to voluntary social and community service. Promotion of physical fitness through moss participation in yoga, indigenous games and modern sports wil be made an integral part of all youth programmes, together with adventure activities calculated to develop the spirit of risk taking, team work and endurance. Yourfg parents will be particularly sensitized to their respon sibilities and their own role as catalysts of social change, by being involved in movements against various social ills, harmful practices and superstitions, and by adopting the small family norm and appropriate family welfare measures. True to our great tradition of viewing the world as one family, programmes, enabling contacts and close links between the youth of India and their counterparts all over the world, will be expanded, to promote international understanding and strengthen world peace. Outstanding work done by young persons and voluntary agencies in various fields will be recognised and rewarded through a system of awards, scholarships and the like. IMPLEMENTATION

The MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT, Government of Indio, through the DEPARTMENT OF YOUTH AFFAIRS AND SPORTS, wil be the NODAL AGENCY in the Government of Indio for the implementation of the NATIONAL YOUTH POLICY and providing such guidance and assistance os may be required.

Systematic and scientific monitoring end evaluation of the im plementation of the Policy will be done, to provide insights into the needs, and aspirations of the youth at different levels and to assess the impact of the programmes and the expendi ture thereon in relation to stated objectives. Monitoring and evaluation v/ould be built into the system on on on-going basis and necessary mid-term corrections applied.

Maximum participation by non-governmental institutions, public and private, will be encouraged, and in fact sought, in the mobilisation of youth in specific areas of national de velopment, Programmes of youth organisations will be en couraged through financial and organisational support.

COORDINATION

The most important component of the youth programme will be the removal of unemployment, both rural and urban, educated and non-educated. This sholl inform all program mes for youth undertaken by oil departments of Government, Central and. State, os well os non-Governmentol Agencies. This will be ensured by all these Agencies, working in unison and in mutual consultation and coordination. The DEPART MENT OF YOUTH AFFAIRS in the MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT, Government of India, will make oil efforts to serve os a clearing house of data, information and ideas germane to process of coordination, while keeping intact the independent operational aspects of each of the Agencies.

The Central Government, State Governments and Voluntary Agencies will work in close coordination in the implementa tion of the NATIONAL YOUTH POLICY. Detailed exercises at the local level will be initiated in order to bring about maximum utilisation of the State and Central facilities and to ovoid duplication in oil the spheres of activity that the POLICY contemplates, and to evolve effective, responsive and respon sible mechanisms for these purposes. A COMMIHEE FOR NATIONAL YOUTH PROGRAMMES (CONYP) will be set up, bringing together representatives of the concerned Ministries, Departments end National Youth Organisations, to advise the DEPARTMENT OF YOUTH AFFAIRS AND SPORTS in discharging its duties in the effective implementation of the NATIONAL YOUTH POLICY. CONCLUSION It is significant that the National Youth Policy is being launched in the year of the birth centenary of Pt. Jav/aharlal Nehru. In the implementation of the policy, the nation and the Government v/ill be guided and inspired by the philosophy and vision of Pt. Nehru, who was not only the rallying point of youth during the struggle for Independence but also the man who became a symbol of resurgent youth in Independent India. With his world view of history and his modern, scientific temper working in unison with the traditions and heritage of this great country, Pt, Nehru was a great humanist who strove for the ideals of socialism, secularism and democracy. These cardinal principles and ideals enshrined in the Constitution of India will inform all programmes of action for implementation of this Policy, enabling the youth of India to march forward, with confidence in themselves and faith in the future, basing their convictions on our ancient heritage but utilising their skills, knowledge, energies and idealism to harness the fruits of science and appropriate technology in building a new and vibrant India.

29 NATIONAL SPORTS POLICY

The importance of participation in sports and physical education activities for good health, o high degree of physical fitness, increase in individual productivity and also its value as a means of beneficial recreation promoting social harmony and discipline is well established. The need of every citizen, irrespective of age and sex, to participate in and enjoy games, sports and recreational activities is, therefore, hereby recognized. The necessity of raising the national standards in games and sports so that our sportsmen and women acquit themselves creditably in international sports competitions is equally recognised. It is the duty of the Central and State Gov ernments, therefore, to accord to sports and physical education a very high priority in the process of all round de velopment. They should promote and develop traditional and modern games and sports, and also yoga, by providing the necessary facilities and infrastructure on a large scale and by inculcating sports consciousness among the masses, so that by their regular participation in sports and physical education activities, the nation is made healthy fit and strong. The Government of India are happy to note that the principles stated above and the policy statements which follow enjoy the support of the State Governments. The Government of Indio, accordingly, resolve that promotion of sports end physical education in the country be undertaken in the following monner:-

Infrastucture in Villages and Towns: No programme of promotion .of sports and physical education on a large scale con succeed unless the minimum sports facilities such os ployfields, indoor halls swimming pools etc., ore provided in the villages and towns, alike for the general public, industrial workers and in educational institutions. Such facilities should, therefore, be provided in a phased manner oo os to cover the entire country in course of time. Only then it would be possible to fulfil the be ic object of mass participation in sports and physical education activities. A timebound programme needs to be drawn up for this purpose by the Central and State Gov ernments.

30 Preservation of Piay-Fields and Open Spaces: The Central and State Governments should make efforts to ensure, if necessary by suitable legislation, that existing play-fields and stadia in rural and urban areas are preserved for sports purposes and progressively more existing open spaces ore made available for sports any physical education activities.

Nutrition: The need for imporving the level of nutrition of the population at large is already recognised. Efforts should be mode to ensure that the diet available to sportsmen and women has the nutritional value necessary to meet the specific requirements of different games and sports in v^hich they par ticipate.

Identification of Talent: Those concerned vy^ith the promoVion of sports shou\d make o\l efforts to identify sports talent at a young age and to nurture it so as to realise its full potential.

Sports and Physical Education in Educational In stitutions: Sports and physical education should be made an integral part of the curriculum as a regular subject in schools and other similar educational institutions. A great deal of emphasis should be laid on participation in sports ac tivities also in universities, colleges and other institutions awarding degrees and diplomas.

Sports Institutions: Steps whould be taken to establish in stitutions such as sports universities, colleges schools and hostels which lay special emphasis on identifying, nurturing and developing sports talent to its full potential. Normal education has to be an integral part of the curriculum of these institutions besides their special emphasis on sports and physical education.

Incentives: Adequate incentives should be provided to those who excel in sports.

Special consideration for employment: Special con sideration should be given to those who excel in sports in the matter of employment, including self-employment.

Voluntary Efforts: Voluntary effort has to ploy an important role in promotion of sports both in respect of com petitive sports and mass participation in sports actfvitles. It is necessary, therefore, that cooperation of voluntary bodies such as the Indian Olympic Association, the notional sports federation, sports clubs and other is enlisted in this en deavour.

______International Competitions: The Indian Olympic Associ ation and the national sports federations have a special re sponsibility with regard to competitive sports. They should present a unified and cohesive image in keeping with the dignity of the nation. Their responsibility is even greater where participation of national teams in international competitions is involved. Such federations should, therefore, be encour aged to regularly hold national competitions an^ implement effective plans for the preparation of national teams for par ticipation In international competition^ and ensure proper selection, physical fitness and coaching of players for this purpose. They should also resist any change in the rules of a game at the international level that seeks to change the original form of the game to the detriment of sporting ability or style of any particular nation or group of nations. international Exposure: National teams should sent abroad to take part in international competitions only when, by physical conditioning, coaching and practice, they have attained standards required for such competitions. Diploma* tic priorities of the country should be kept in view when con sidering international participation abroad or orgamsotion of international events within the country. ‘

Priority in Competitive Sports: While encouraging com petitive sports, priority should be accorded to: (a) Sports disciplines recognised for the Olympics, the Asian Gomes and the Commonwealth Gomes; and (b) those internationally recognised gomes for which a world federation exists and which, like chess, ore widely played in Indio.

Appropriate Equipment: Every effort should be mode to promote the sports goods industry in the country so that it is able to produce and moke available equipment of interna tionally accepted standards at reasonable cost for use in sports. UntiI.such time os the indigenous sports goods industry is able to do so, equipment of appropriate international standards should be mode available for sports competitions, requiring such equipment, by importing it free of customs duty.

Promotion of Sports and Physical EducaHon by Non-Governmental Institutions: Government alone cannot promote and develop sports and physical education on the scale r squired. Active participation and support from non-governmental institutions, whether public or private, in the matter of finance, infrastructure and organisation should be encouraged.

32 Research and Development: Research and development in tihe field of sports and physical education should be actively encouraged both in the private and public sectors. In this context, special attention needs to be paid to the development of suports sciences in the country.

Em|9loyment of Mass Media: The mass media should be effectively employed in spreading and sustaining sports con sciousness in the country. The implementation of this sports policy will need substantial additional financial outlays by the Central and States Govern ments. Investment in the promotion of sports and physical edu cation, being investment in health, fitness, productivity and social v/ell-being of the people, is really for upgradation of QHJX human resources for development. Such investment in sports and physical education should, therefore, be adeC|uately increased. The Government of India will review alongwith the State Gov ernments, every five years, the progress mode in the im plementation of this notional policy and suggest further course of action os may be necessary os a result of such reviev^.

33 YOUTH SCHEMES
