Wise Act Of Youth Visioning & Engagement

About 600 million people, more than half of India’s population, are under 25 years old; no country has more young people than India. Despite that the percentage of youth in higher education is as low as 12.5%. The percentage of Dalit, Muslim and Tribal youth in higher education is less than 2 %. Caste system and communal tension is affecting the minds of these youth as they face continuous discrimination, rejection, humiliation, stigma, exclusion and preferential treatment in the educational institutions. Sometimes, higher education also doesn’t fulfil one’s basic need especially for young women in India as majority of them are not given full authority to build their future

Each and every person including the marginalised and poor communities has the right to thrive education. But considering the scenario of how the education system works in India, youth from marginalised and poor communities still lack to achieve their education regardless of intelligence which leads to unemployment. As per the report of Centre for Monitoring Indian economy (CMIE), 31 million unemployed people in India are seeking jobs. The number of unemployed people from Dalits, Muslims and Tribal communities is much higher than the other communities.

Despite the Indian Constitution guaranteeing equal rights to all, the percentage of women in higher education and employment is quite low in India. The female labour force participation (FLFP) rate in India has also fallen from 36 percent in 2005-06 to 24 percent in 2015-16, as per the Economic Survey of India 2017-18. Again young women from the marginalised communities face more problems in comparison to their male counterparts due to their multiple identities of oppression. But many times, higher education also doesn’t fulfil one’s basic need especially for women in India. Women are not given the authority to build their future.

Various traumas are foreseen mainly in education field due to the system pressure built across the country. It is 21st Century and the Indian youth lack quality education. In this competitive world of education, what matters the most are the marks that the student gets as they are the only substitute to get admission into recognized colleges and then to seek jobs in multinational companies and corporations.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS), a study conducted in the year 2015 – 16 among 1500 students found that 11% of college students and 7-8% of high school students have attempted su***de. Majority of these students again come from marginalised communities in India.

Wise Act of Youth Visioning and Engagement (WAYVE) Foundation is a national organization of youth involving students, youth and people across India in building a strong nation, where young minds are nurtured, counselled and enlightened towards a positive outlook towards their lives and also to work towards a better future of youth bridging the boundaries of caste, class, gender, ethnicity, religion, disability and sexual orientation.

WAYVE Foundation aims to work closely with youth networks, Organisations, students associations, Universities, colleges and educational institutions across the country in addressing the issues relating to education, employment, health care and women rights affecting the youth of India by hosting workshops, conferences, seminars. The foundation shall conduct fact findings action based study and research in the critical areas relating to discrimination and violence against marginalised youth mainly in education and employment. It shall provide counselling to the youth in higher education to prevent issues relating to mental health sometimes leading to extreme situations affecting the lives of youth. The foundation also wants to ensure a better situation of young women by guiding them, supporting them during personal crises affecting their education and career.
