When will the establishment take these critical issues seriously? Canal irrigation has decreased from 16 lakh hectares in 1990-91 to about 11.5 lakh hectares today, yet endless discussions on water recharging and groundwater depletion continue.

Why aren't these issues getting prioritized given these alarming statistics?
For years, studying abroad has been seen as the ultimate launchpad for career success. But India’s Gen Z appears to be recalculating the equation. With rising costs, visa uncertainty and changing work opportunities overseas, many young Indians are looking at international education without necessarily leaving India. At the same time, 82% use AI weekly to learn or build skills, while 65% believe a degree alone is no longer enough. So is Gen Z rejecting the traditional education dream or simply upgrading it for a more practical world ?
सालों से विदेश में पढ़ाई को करियर की सफलता का सबसे बड़ा रास्ता माना जाता रहा है। लेकिन जेन ज़ी अब इस सोच पर दोबारा विचार करती दिख रही है। बढ़ती लागत, वीज़ा की अनिश्चितता और विदेशों में बदलते काम के अवसरों के बीच, कई युवा भारतीय अब विदेश जाए बिना ही अंतरराष्ट्रीय शिक्षा के विकल्प तलाश रहे हैं। साथ ही, 82% युवा हर सप्ताह ए.आई. का इस्तेमाल सीखने या नए कौशल विकसित करने के लिए करते हैं, जबकि 65% मानते हैं कि नौकरी के बाज़ार में सफलता के लिए सिर्फ़ डिग्री अब पर्याप्त नहीं है। तो क्या जेन ज़ी पारंपरिक शिक्षा के सपने को छोड़ रही है या उसे बदलती दुनिया के हिसाब से नया रूप दे रही है ?
India’s Gen Z is far from one uniform generation. While some young Indians have the financial safety net to experiment with careers, demand flexibility and wait for the “right” opportunity, many in smaller towns and rural India enter the workforce with a very different priority, to find work, build a life and move ahead. The bigger question is whether this divide is creating two very different versions of Gen Z, one driven by choice, and the other by necessity ?
