The Story in Brief
AISA announced the nationwide Gen Z Rising campaign on August 6, focusing on education, youth unemployment and entrance examination policies. Its national president, Neha, will begin a multi-state tour in Ranchi on August 7, followed by Kolkata and Jaipur, before visiting other cities including Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Bhubaneswar. Later phases will cover more states.
Times Now News reports that the campaign follows student protests at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar over the NEET paper leak and irregularities in entrance examinations. AISA wants the National Testing Agency abolished, universities to regain control of entrance tests and the National Education Policy rolled back. It also seeks affordable education and secure employment. The organisation said the tour will mobilise students and extend the protest movement.
The Indian Opinion
The easy narrative that every exam problem can be solved by abolishing the NTA is as weak as dismissing students’ concerns as politics. Central testing, university autonomy and NEP implementation each need evidence-based scrutiny. AISA should publish workable alternatives, costs and safeguards against irregularities. The tour’s value will be judged by whether it produces specific proposals and measurable commitments before the next admission cycle.
