ABSTRACT

The term "Youth" in Sociology is regarded as an ascribed status or socially constructed label rather than the biological condition of being young. Youth is the stage of life between childhood and adulthood. Students in the present context refer to those who are studying in schools, colleges and universities. For our present purpose, we will define a student as a youth between the ages of 15-29 years studying in an educational institution. ‘Unrest’ means ‘a disturbed condition’. In simple words, Youth Unrest can be defined as the manifestation of collective frustration of the youth in society. Youth unrest is caused when the youth all over the Country feel frustrated, agitated or disturbed by some common issues. It is a collective discontent that causes dysfunctional conditions. The youth of today are in grave situation. There is unrest among them because they are facing numerous problems like ambition, anxiety, identity etc. They have never rested on their past moments nor have they felt contented with the possibilities of the present. They are under pressure of high ambition which increases their anxiety and thus problems begin to come one after another in their life. Fired by the stimulus and success syndrome of the living present, the young nurses an ambition to reach the top of the world, however hard and relentless the effort may be. There is deep divide between the urban youth and the rural one. The former is in a state of defiance against the old order.

Key words: Youth Unrest, Society, Deprived, Opportunity, Intellectual etc.
