SeniorsMantra recently conducted an InterCollege Declamation Contest GNIMT College, 15 enthusiasts from 7 colleges spoke on ” THE ROLE OF YOUTH IN CREATING A SOCIETY CONDUCTIVE TO THE ELDERLY ” ..
There were innumerable moments of surging emotions,both happy & sad such that a majority of d audience including @Deputy director of host college couldn’t resist their tears.
It was brought to fore that the youth today hve d time to pay for chatting, movies, malls & friends bt none to spend wid their grandparents. The sad realities of d modern world wid nuclear families & busy schedules leave no energy or interest wid d children to lukafter d elderly at home, grandparents who r makers & pillars of our country.
Although it needs a sea change in d mentality as well as d livingstyles of d today’s bread earners & it can’t happen overnight bt this interaction of youngsters & seniors has surely touched a cord. Thoughts convert to words & eventually to actions we hope.. Lets just do more n more efforts to bring d change in society..like emoticon like emoticon
