PROTECTED]> > Dear All,> > A questionnaire-based survey conducted in later part
of 2007 among youths in Assam has revealed that their general knowledge is
below par.This survey was conducted by the monthly magazine for youth 'Jiban'
among 2,270 students and youths in the age group of 15 to 40 in more than a
hundred villages and towns across Assam. Editor of "Jiban" Mr Suresh Ranjan
Goduka is a TATA-RGVN (Rashtriya Gramin Vikas Nidhi) senior fellow, who led the
survey team.> > (1) 95 percent of the respondents do not know that there is a
separate ministry for the northeast at the centre. 46 percent of those surveyed
said there should be one! > > (2) What is more surprising is that 62 percent of
the respondents were not aware of Assam's population while 73 percent did not
have a clue about the state's literacy rate.> > (3) 38 percent of them did not
know where money comes from at the ATMs, > > (4) A small 5 percent of those
surveyed thought Sensex has something to do with sex!> > (5) At least 90
percent of those surveyed knew Baichung Bhutia is a footballer although 6
percent thought he was the king of Bhutan!> The only silver lining, according
to the highlights of the Youth Awareness Survey, is the health awareness level
among the youths.> (6) As much as 91 percent of the respondents knew that
kissing does not spread AIDS and 93 percent were aware that jaundice is a
water-borne disease.> What is amazing is the lack of awareness among those
surveyed about several common facts concerning Assam's history and politics.> >
(7) 37 percent of the youths surveyed did not know that the Assam Accord signed
in 1985 to end the six-year-long anti-foreigners stir had set March 25, 1971 as
the cut-off date for detection and expulsion of illegal migrants from the
state.> (8) 27 percent of the respondents thought that the Saraighat Bridge
over the river Brahmaputra in state capital Guwahati was built by a king of the
Ahom dynasty that ruled Assam for 600 years starting 1,228 AD. This bridge in
fact was opened to traffic in 1962.> Warm Regards.> > Siddharth Barthakur>
