Vibgyor HighThree generations- spare time

What have we been up to?

• We have compiled the interviews and analysed

their outcome!

So what did we find?

Lets have a look!

And here is Our Questionnaire!General questions with regard to the interviewee’s social

position

• Give a short description of your family when you were a teenager.

• Where did you live as a teenager and with whom?

Pattern of spending spare time

• What according to you does spare time mean?

• How much spare time did you have when you were a teenager? (during the

school week and weekends)

• How did you spend this spare time?

• Do you think the activities you occupied yourself with in your spare time

were productive or helpful?

Our Questionnaire Groups and spare time

• Did you spend your spare time with teenagers of the same social/religious

background as yours?

• Was there a bifurcation of group activities depending on religion, caste,

class?

• Who or what influenced your choice of joining these groups, if there were

any?

So what do our interviews tell us?

• We found that our interviewees were living in a large

family with an average of 4-6 siblings. Some lived in

joint families and the others with only their parents

and siblings.

• They spent majority of their spare time with people

from various castes and religious backgrounds, and

therefore no bifurcation based on religious

background was made.

The Analysis

• They got sufficient spare time to relax and

involve themselves in certain minor household

chores while managing homework and studies

in their spare time too.

• They also said that the activities they involved

themselves in were productive enough to keep

them busy and active.

The Analysis

• The grandparent’s overview abut spare time suggests more

indulgence in outdoor activities which involved playing traditional

sports or other forms of physical exercise.

• The parents stated that their means of spending spare time were

both indoors and outdoors.

• 9/10 interviewees said the present generations way of utilising

spare time has changed drastically and that a dramatic fall in

practice of outdoor activities and an increase in indoor activities

like gaming and social networking has resulted in a lazier

generation.

Lazy or Productive?parents suggesting

that present

generation is lazy

generation is active

and productive

But…

• Nevertheless, 8/10 also say that the current

generation is intelligent and capable, as their

knowledge is budding with technology.

• The present generation’s negligence of outdoor

activities could be due to alternate ‘virtual’

substitutes like games. Or it could be sheer lack

of interest.

that….

So what did we conclude?• In a nutshell, the common comment made by

all is that their generation was much more active

and outgoing, while this generation prefers air

conditioners to sunlight, computers to books

and gaming consoles over bats and rackets. But

the potential the current generation possess is

immense and if channelized correctly, their

enthusiasm and smartness are commendable

traits!

Thank you!
