    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I stand to support the Bill. Any recognition from the President is always valued a lot in the society. It indicates recognition. All human beings appreciate the value of recognition. In fact, it motivates people. It motivates everybody who feels that they are recognised. Above all, if people feel recognised, it is easier for them to move and apply their initiative and look for facilitation so that they can achieve and use their talents for the benefit of the community. Therefore, an award that focuses on young people is an idea that should have been there before. We know that for adults, we have certain honours which are entrenched in law. For young people, we have a big problem of unemployment. To that extent, we are trying to encourage voluntarism. We have tried to encourage internship, but all these have not appealed to the feelings of the youth. If we have something that can motivate them, that can make them realise they are recognised and this will improve their life skills, initiative and innovativeness. It is the age at which one discovers himself. This is the age when one wants to know how they can use their talents, how they can use their innovativeness and their energy to improve their life skills. They also want to acquire life skills."
