PM Modi's Gen Z Outreach Divides Youth in Doon Valley

Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the Doon Valley last week as part of a broader effort to engage Generation Z voters. The visit included a series of town‑hall meetings and social media activations aimed at addressing issues such as employment, education and digital inclusion. While some students praised the initiative for its focus on youth concerns, others expressed skepticism, citing a perceived disconnect between the campaign’s messaging and their lived realities. The divided response highlights the challenges Modi faces in winning over a demographic that is increasingly critical of traditional political outreach.
