Addressing Youth Concerns: Congress Leader's Strategic Move Before Polls
7 March, 24: In a strategic move ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress party, unveiled the ambitious 'Pehli Naukri Pakki' (First Job Guaranteed) initiative. The timing of this groundbreaking scheme aligns with the party's efforts to address pressing issues like unemployment, thereby garnering support from the youth demographic.
Under the 'Pehli Naukri Pakki' initiative, every graduate and diploma holder below the age of 25 will receive a one-year apprenticeship opportunity in either government or private institutions. In addition to gaining valuable professional experience, participants will be entitled to an annual stipend of ₹1 lakh. This move is not only aimed at providing much-needed employment opportunities but also at nurturing skilled professionals who can contribute effectively to the workforce.
While the initiative is presented as a solution to the long-standing issue of unemployment, its timing also serves as a strategic political maneuver. By launching such a scheme ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, Rahul Gandhi aims to appeal to the aspirations and concerns of young voters, positioning the Congress party as proactive and committed to addressing their needs.
The 'Pehli Naukri Pakki' initiative is not just a job creation program; it is a symbol of hope and opportunity for the youth of India. As the election season approaches, initiatives like these are likely to play a crucial role in shaping public opinion and influencing voter sentiment.
