    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also thank the Senate leadership for guiding the House this far. As we break for recess, my heart goes out to the youths of this country for the challenges that they are facing. I hope that as we go for recess, we should remember to build on the good that is helpful to the youth. In the last two or three weeks, there was a determined fight against alcohol. We can convincingly say that there has been relative peace and a complete reduction of crime in this country as a result of the positive efforts to fight illicit brews. I hope this will continue so that we can save our youth from this menace and bring peace in our homes. Secondly, we know the vibrancy of the youth. We will be with them. They often learn from examples. Around this time of the year, there are numerous unrests in our schools. School infrastructure is burnt down by students owing to disobedience of the youth. As we go for recess, it is incumbent upon the leadership to talk in a manner that we can educate and caution our youth against behaviour that destroys the infrastructure that has been put up at enormous cost and effort so that it can be used to improve their lot. Lastly, this is an agricultural economy. We are going out of the city and out of the Chamber to the countryside where the agricultural activity is going on. As we go to recess, it is also upon us, the leadership, to educate our farmers in the countryside whose critical deficiency is lack of know-how and knowledge to better themselves using the land resource. I am sure that this is one of the areas which we will deal with when we are on recess. I come from an agricultural area where tea is an important economic activity.
