Abstract: We often talk on the subject "Refugees" with various viewpoints. While some consider them as the downtrodden people who have taken shelters in various developing and developed countries in search of safety, peace and growth, other see them as a liability and burden on the host countries. Similarly, various organizations, politicians, aid workers, academicians and the press have different angles in viewing the term.
However, amid the arguments on eliciting the right definitions on the refugees, we often forget the real issues and concerns such as the socio-economic problems, this population is going through and to be more specific, the issues, risks and challenges of the refugee youth, which has been one of the severely affected sections of the refugee population, whose not only past has troubles and sorrows in it but whose present is handicapped with a very limited opportunities to grow and whose future is full of uncertainties. Thus, this is the high time when the youth refugee population should be given special focus upon by the humanitarian and welfare agencies in Delhi to timely save their futures from the shackles of helplessness, decimation, demotivation and desolation by reviewing the existing support structures for them, advocating for rectifying the shortfalls and backing away for some much needed solutions at a broader level and highlighting the issues related to their situation.
