One of the much debated topics in India is, ‘whether Sex Education is necessary in India?’But considering the lack of awareness among the youngsters particularly in the age group of 16 to 19 which exactly falls at the adolescent stage of the youngsters and their involvement in sex rather in a primitive way, considering it only as an act but not without any responsibility, has not only spoiled the individuals concerned with early pregnancies, abortions, sexually transmitted diseases, aids, mental tensions, stress, torture, desertion from their families, loss of social respect and also in the end resulting in utter failure in their studies and becoming wayward in life.
One of the most acute problems that India is facing or rather struggling with is that India has as many as 3 million cases of patients suffering from ‘AIDS’ or tested positive for ‘HIV’ and of them a considerable number of cases are in the age group of 20 to 30 years of age.This startling fact not only burdens us with the problem of redeeming them from the maladies of AIDS, but also entails us with additional problems of prevention of spreading of the dreaded disease to the other sections of the society.. NALCO is doing its yeoman’s service in this regard.
Under the circumstances mentioned above, since the prevention is better than cure, we have to launch our programmes in the right directions, disseminating the knowledge about sex, about the dreaded diseases like AIDS, about their social impact etc. Another area that we need to concentrate is premarital sex .Though premarital sex is largely considered a personal affair of the concerned individual, but it is our duty to make them realize that premarital sex is not simply an act but it is an act coupled with responsibility.
To drive home all the points mentioned above, it is better to introduce the sex education in India, in a country which is the second largest in terms of population in the world and which has already a significant number of peoples infected with AIDS.
