The purpose of education is that 'one should live for the soil's benefit' and the youth should strive with this motive.

"Younger generation's knowledge and creativity should should work towards the progress of human development as well, and not just scientific growth'.

Although opportunities have changed today opening doors for many to get education and graduate through universities, the awareness to use the knowledge on reasearch and improving what they have learnt is less. Opportunities have increased manifold today nationally and internationally to have their research contributions, such as patents, and intellectual development to enrich their future.

To make an effective use of this, youth should posses the clarity to know their goal, define it accurately and making the goal an effective action plan, it is also necessary to have an indefatigable willpower for execution at all times.

The youth of India should also develop the above skills to make the country productive.
