Student protests in Bihar regarding unemployment

Overview

Students and job aspirants in Patna, Bihar, held demonstrations at Dak Bungalow Chowk to protest unemployment and demand reforms regarding Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) recruitment examinations.

The protests gained significant attention following a viral video of a six-year-old boy, Aditya Kumar, participating in the demonstrations. During the protest, the child called for the resignation of Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, stating, “You should resign, you have made everyone unemployed,” and expressing concern for the “future of the country.”
