"Exploitation of Youth"

A student's stamina could be reasonably judged with a person's academic skills along with his/her extracurricular performance. Like always a great sector of pupils is deprived off such events taking place all-over around the country. But the question is how when the selection is on the basis of merit. A very simple answer is the fee the organizations charge for. The range starts from Rs.250 to even Rs.1.5 lakh or more which is unaffordable for a common man with a monthly salary of Rs.8000. Under the umbrella of recession and inflation major private educational institution opt to push back the poor brilliant student from the race of gaining experience and  self confidence. Isn't this an open discrimination? The major part of the ultra-talented future generation is sided to footpaths as the best renowned universities of the world require a good extra-curricular background alongside with an exceptional examination result.

It is not only a story of discrimination and uplifting a particular class but it is a mother of  "jealousy" and "agony" which is another barrier in between sects of a society along with religion, ethnicity and politics. I think that this is not a pedagogy to be taught and induced in the young brains. In this way we are ourselves trying to decline rate of social and civil development in our society by paralyzing a willing candidate who is exploited on the basis of his/her family's income. Several international competitions taking place only allow the few with a handsome bank balance to register while the competitions organized by the government are free of cost but the judgements are imprisoned by prejudice mind of thinking. 

But here what to say where the basic and dire right of education is not sufficiently provided and where several external and our national board intersect each other building tumors of differences. Still what I can hope for through writing this letter to the editor is a recognition and realization for the fact that a majority population of youth is deprived of better educational standards, co-curricular and extra-curricular participation just on the basis of affordability and the bank balance. So either democracy or martial law, education should be for all with equal and undisputed standards!
