Today's youth gets irritated on slightest of issues. If we compare behaviour of the youth today with the youth of same age group ten years ago, we will find a sea difference between the two. This does not imply that youth of past were more talented and responsible but when it comes to behaviour and attitude, a lot of care and attention needs to be provided to today's youth. Today, a violence streak is evident in youth from their active involvement in crimes such as road rage, theft, murder and otheranti-social activities. Asurvey conducted by Delhi team of NIMHANS suggests that every 8 out of 10 youngsters in age group of 15-26 years are violent in nature. This survey was conducted across five cities in India.
