Many students on Sunday strongly urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take steps to control the adult content which was freely available to the youngsters through YouTube and other sources with the availability of Internet access. They felt that the young minds would get polluted with such content leading to many social problems.
The Directorate of Field Publicity (DFP) organised an exclusive programme on ‘PM’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ which successfully completed three years recently. Assistant Director of the DFP G. Kondala Rao and Young India Director M. Ramakrsihna Rao took the initiative in organising the programme to help students to come out with their ideas. Their opinions were recorded and sent to PM’s office. A tenth class student Arun Teja felt that access to the Internet would be useful to enhance knowledge if it was properly utilised. He pointed out its misuse with the usage of smart phones by youngsters too. Another student G. Lahari urged Mr. Modi to come out with legislations to protect the interests of the farmers who were committing suicides with the lack of remunerative prices for their produces. She felt that the food security would be in danger if the farmers lost interest in agriculture activity.
Srikakulam District Tourism Officer N. Narayana Rao, Young India advisor S. Joginaidu, Srikakulam Rotary Club president Natukula Mohan and others said such programmes would help the government to know the views of the students and they would be useful for the country. They appreciated the students’ suggestion for the protection of the widows.
