UT Youth Cong launches spl campaign on PM’s birthday
The Youth Congress on Thursday launched its campaign, “What About My Degree?”, focusing on unemployment, government recruitment and employment opportunities for young people on the occasion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday. The campaign launched with a press conference held at the Congress Bhawan in Sector 35. The event was led by the Youth Congress president Deepak Lubana.
Party leaders said young people spend years pursuing higher education, while parents invest their savings in their children’s education. After obtaining degrees and preparing for competitive examinations, many young people face a lack of adequate employment opportunities, they said.
Against this backdrop, the organisation has made “What about my degree?” the central theme of its campaign.
