00:00Do you know what happens when a young man studies day and night, sacrifices his youth
00:06and then finds that his effort counts for nothing?
00:09The SSE exam problems has been a topic of contention for students.
00:15SSE! High High! SSE! High High!
00:18He doesn't just lose an exam, he loses faith in life itself.
00:22He loses trust in hard work, he loses trust in merit, he loses trust in knowledge, he loses
00:27trust in justice and worst of all, he loses trust in himself.
00:32And what does he start believing in? In fate, in money power, in connections and bribery,
00:38in psychophancy and superstition, in every shortcut that kills character.
00:42Tell me, can a nation grow when its youth no longer believe in sincerity?
00:48Can an Aarebhat be born in a land where students are told?
00:51Don't understand. Just mug up last year's question paper and prepare a few shortcuts and tricks.
00:57A fearful student then does not dream, he does not innovate, he clings to job security,
01:04to pensions, to anything permanent. Not because he seeks success, but because he runs from fear.
01:10And does that explain the craze for government jobs in India?
01:13I was fortunate. When I wrote a 95 mark answer, I got 95.
01:18I would know how much I should get and I would be given that. I could see my fate is
01:26in my own hands.
01:27That gave me dignity of your destiny being in your own control.
01:32Today's youth deserve the same assurance. Without it, the very core of this nation is in danger.
01:39Remember this, a great society is not built just on GDP figures.
01:45It is built on one sacred promise that your effort will be honored and that your merit will never be
01:52wasted.
01:53Thanks.
