Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi arrived in Indore to address the 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' event, promising a dialogue with students on education, exam leaks, recruitment and unemployment.
Rahul Gandhi, senior leader of the Indian National Congress, touched down in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on Thursday to take part in the 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' programme organised by local student groups. The event, scheduled for later in the day, aims to provide a platform for youth to voice concerns about the education system and job market.
During the session, Gandhi is expected to address pressing issues such as the quality of higher education, recurring paper‑leak scandals in competitive exams, the transparency of recruitment processes and the growing unemployment among graduates. He has previously highlighted these topics in parliamentary debates and promised concrete steps to improve the situation.
The gathering will feature a question‑and‑answer segment, allowing students and young professionals to interact directly with the leader. Organisers hope the dialogue will translate into actionable recommendations for state and central authorities.
Security arrangements were tight, with the local police coordinating closely with event volunteers. The DCP of Indore was reported to have a brief exchange with the organisers over crowd‑control measures, but the event proceeded without incident.
The programme concludes with a pledge from Gandhi to raise the concerns raised by the participants in upcoming parliamentary sessions, reinforcing the Congress party's focus on youth welfare ahead of the next election cycle.
