Democracy and Leadership
The latest episode of Jwandai Jazbey (Alive Spirit) discussed the importance of democracy and leadership.
In Pakistan, there are limited opportunities for the youth to get involved in political activities. This is one of the reasons why democracy has not flourished and the low level of awareness in the youth about the core constitutional values and democracy.
Qaiser Zaman, Member of Provincial Youth Assembly, social activist and teacher was the guest of the show. He said that if the educated and trained youth is given the opportunity to participate in general elections as candidates, they can improve the fate of the country. He added that without the participation and contribution of women, Pakistan cannot achieve sustainable development and prosperity. He said that the curriculum being taught at government educational institutions should be reshaped completely to make it reflect the new needs and requirements.
There were five calls received during the show.
