The Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) held its state conference in Thrissur, Kerala, to protest the Union government's employment policies. The organization demanded the immediate filling of 9.5 lakh vacant posts across central government ministries, public sector undertakings, and educational institutions. Speakers criticized the shift toward contractual and temporary hiring, arguing that it erodes job security and future stability for the youth. The conference linked recent student protests in New Delhi to widespread recruitment delays and examination irregularities. They called for a national employment policy that guarantees secure, permanent jobs for the younger generation.
