Mother's Self-Derogation and Adolescent Mental Health

Young people constitute one of the precious resources of any country. India homes about 24.3 crores adolescents and occupies 21% of Indian population. It means about one fifth of India's population belongs to the adolescent age group of 10 -19 years. According to UNICEF, there are more adolescents in India than in any country . As they form an important segment, there is call for focused attention with regard to health and social well-being. With the growing realization that investing in adolescents yield more intellectual and economic
dividends for the country, recently Government of India has launched its first comprehensive programme for adolescents . The program envisages an idea of enabling the adolescents to be made informed and responsible in their decisions related to their health and well-being. Similarly a global reflection also observed in acknowledging and prioritizing the contributions of this group. For the first time, adolescents were added to the core of United Nation's Global Strategy for the period of 2016-2030. This report illustrates not only the unique health challenges faced by young people, but also their critical role as key drivers of change in the post -2015 era. This UN project is put forward with a vision to improve health and well-being of adolescents along with women and children and to pass a transformative variation needed to mold a bright and stable future.
