All India Essay Writing Event 2010: Results

SRCM Emblem     UN Information Centre, New Delhi     International year of youth, August 2010-2011, our year our voice

Youth is a time of promise and for effort, and we found ample proof of the same when several thousands of youngsters from over 12000 educational institutions came forward to express themselves at the All India Essay Writing Event 2010.

It is again that time of the year when we must identify the best and recognize their superlative efforts, but before we get to that we would like to share with you some of our findings.

This year, we asked you some potent questions and put before you certain bold ideas for your consideration, and to say the least, we were overwhelmed by the unanimous verdict that YOU gave us.

We posited that Character Protects Life, and you reaffirmed that it indeed does. Whatever the world may say about the exuberance of youth and the myriad temptations that it faces, YOU the youth of India told us in unambiguous terms that, if the edifice of life were founded upon anything other than a strong character, it would always run the risk of collapse. You rekindled the hope of a brighter tomorrow when you emphasized that only a robust character could guide one through the maze of temptation.

We were unsure about your reaction when we presented you with the idea that Freedom Does Not Mean License, But The Wisdom To Choose What Is Right For Oneself, and yet again you showed us the extent of your collective wisdom when you eloquently argued the case for self-restraint and guidance. It was you who said that even the river, which epitomizes youth and energy, needs two banks to keep it within bounds and be channelized into a life giving force. you beautifully explained that a mop of overgrown and untidy hair could be transformed into an elegant coiffure only when it is timely trimmed and tended to.

You were able to reveal some noteworthy aspects of the topic From Ambition to Aspiration, From Acquiring to Becoming. You naturally related aspiration to excellence and ambition to greed. It was interesting to hear your views on ambition and its acquisitive approach to fulfillment, and your predilection for aspiration, which epitomises the true nature of the soul and its endeavour to evolve into an increasingly better version of itself.

As we bring down the curtains on this years event, we appeal to each one of YOU to remain connected to your hearts and live by all that you have said in this fora, with the hope that each one of you will make the all-important transition from concept to practice.

We wish you all the very best for the New Year.

May this indeed be the Year, Decade and Age of Youth.
