Politics https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:PALLAVINAGALLA/sandbox&action=edit Shanthi Chauhan, As an active member of the Indian National Congress (INC), Shanthi Chauhan has emerged as the new face for Mumbai’s North Central constituency in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Ideology https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:PALLAVINAGALLA/sandbox&action=edit Shanthi believes that youth-centric agenda is the need of the hour, as the nation hosts more than 50% of its population under the age of 25 and 65% below the age of 35, it is expected that, by 2020, the average age of an Indian will be 29 years, compared to 37 for China and 48 for Japan, points out Ms Chauhan. “Considering that India will be the ‘treasure trove of youth ‘, for the next two decades, it is essential that young India needs to be led by intelligence, patience and sensibility. The power of youth lies in its volcanic, raw and untapped emotions,” she adds.“Youth are the most important section of the population. They show strong passion, motivation and willpower making them the most valuable human resource for fostering economic, cultural and political development of a nation. When harnessed right, they can be motivated, skilled and streamlined properly to bring rapid progress for a country. They are the ones who encourage their peers and families into taking action, promoting new methods of farming, understanding the impact of environment issues and the effect of self-sufficient happy villages on the economy and growth of a country,” says Chauhan. THE NEED OF THE HOUR: A leader with a strong mind and positive actions, a leader who can gently but firmly steer the youth of the nation towards utilizing their intelligence, putting their energy into constructive actions, contributing to the glory of the nation with his/her efforts and hard work, is needed. “I believe that INC, with its young leader at the helm, will be able to steer the country’s youth in the right direction. A leader, who values traditions at heart and yet is ready to embrace the ever-changing world scenario for the betterment of the country and her people, is required,” she says. CHIME FOR CHANGE: “I believe that the first action of the INC, towards pledging its embrace for change, should be to encourage the common man and woman to be a part of this journey. As ordinary citizens, we are not easily swayed by fake promises and partial towards any section of society. We have lived all our lives in the society that the government promises to improve. We have been on the other side of the barrier too long, hoping that our voices can be heard. We, ordinary citizens, are not afraid to lead, not afraid of hard work. It’s time for a breath of fresh air, new ideas and new perspective. We are people’s people and our Voice can set the Tune of the nation,” she adds.

Her Motto:TOGETHER WE RISE Rejuvenation, Integrity, Sincerity and Empathy! “When a common man decides to stand up and be heard, he/she doesn’t stand alone. They stand on a prayer filled with desperation and anguish of voices that want to be heard at last through a representative that channels their aspirations and hope for a better life,” she sums up.
