Congress Unveils Youth Outreach Strategy Following Jantar Mantar Protests
· India · Times of India, The Hindu, Hindustan Times
The Congress Working Committee has finalized a comprehensive youth outreach strategy following the recent student-led protests at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. The party announced an 'Education-to-Employment Roadmap' and instructed its four chief ministers to submit state-level education reform reports within a month. The strategy rollout follows the resignation of Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, which was driven by youth-led mobilizations. In a demonstration of the new approach, Rahul Gandhi accompanied a pellet gun injury victim from the July 20 Sansad Chalo protest to a police station in the national capital to demand an official complaint. The party also plans to expand its 'Chhatron ki Goonj' program to strengthen engagement with students.
Why it matters
Major political parties are revamping their student outreach and policy agendas to reclaim youth support following successful independent demonstrations in the national capital.
