Congress party youth outreach programs

Overview

The Congress party has initiated the ‘Chhatra Goonj’ program, a series of events aimed at engaging students and youth on issues such as education, employment, and corruption.

Initially, the program was announced for Nagpur, where Rahul Gandhi was expected to host the event to support students protesting against systemic issues and corruption. This move drew criticism from the BJP, which characterized the initiative as a ‘PR stunt’ and noted a lack of social media engagement from senior Congress leaders.

The program’s scope appears to be expanding, with plans for a significant presence in Odisha. The Odisha Congress has proposed a ‘Chhatra Ki Gunj’ programme in Bhubaneswar, targeting approximately 20,000 young people. This outreach is intended to strengthen the party’s organizational presence ahead of upcoming Panchayat elections.
