Read the passage and answer following question:

An important aspect of population growth in India is the growth of its adolescents. At present the share of adolescents i.e. up to the age group of 10-19 years is about 20.9 per cent (2011), among which male adolescents constitute 52.7 per cent and female adolescents constitute 47.3 per cent. The adolescent population, though, regarded as the youthful population having high potentials, but at the same time they are quite vulnerable if not guided and channelized properly. There are many challenges for the society as far as these adolescents are concerned, some of which are lower age at marriage, illiteracy-particularly female illiteracy, school dropouts, low intake of nutrients. high rate of maternal mortality of adolescent mothers, high rate of HIV and AIDS infections, physical and mental disability or retardeness, drug abuse and alcoholism, juvenile delinquency and commitence of crimes, etc. In view of these, the Government of India has undertaken certain polices to impart proper education to the adolescent groups so that their talents are better channelized and properly utilised. The National Youth Policy is one example which has been designed to look into the overall development of our large youth and adolescent population.

The National Youth Policy (NYP-2014) launched in February 2014 proposes a holistic vision' for the youth of India, which is ''To empower the Youth of the country to achieve their full potential, and through them enable India to find its rightful place in the community of nations.'' The NYP-2014 has defined 'youth' as persons in the age group of 15-29 years.
