Concerns of youth should be understood and addressed: RSS leaders
RSS leaders emphasized the need for the government and society to address youth concerns, specifically citing systemic issues like NEET and drug abuse. The organization held a three-day coordination meeting to discuss national challenges, including demographic shifts and social harmony.
Why it matters
The RSS is a highly influential ideological organization in India; their public stance on youth issues often signals shifts in political priorities.
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leaders said that issues such as NEET that concern youth and their future should be understood and addressed.
“This issue [Jantar Mantar protest] was not viewed as being limited only to corruption. Wherever there are shortcomings in the system, it is necessary to correct them through awareness in society, along with efforts by the government. Whether it is an issue such as NEET or other systemic problems, these create concerns among young people about their future, and it is necessary to understand these concerns and address them,” RSS Sah Sarkaryavah C.R Mukunda said.
Stating that solutions will not emerge merely through protest or disruption, he added, “The government at the Centre, states and society must work together to improve the system through a positive and constructive approach.”
