The Story in Brief
Rahul Gandhi told students and competitive exam aspirants at the 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' event in Prayagraj that a degree certificate 'means nothing in India today' if it does not lead to a job. The Congress leader and Lok Sabha Leader of the Opposition spoke on what he called three issues: pain, data and wealth.
Gandhi said the country's 40 crore young people need more opportunities. He expressed concern over paper leaks, recruitment exams, gig work and the push to make social media reels instead of finding stable employment. He urged the youth to avoid hatred and violence and said the systems in the country needed change.
The Indian Opinion
The 'degree means nothing' line will get cheers at rallies, but it skips a harder conversation. Many young Indians do get jobs after graduation, and the real problem is not that degrees are worthless but that there are not enough jobs for the lakhs who pass out each year. Blaming reels or gig work misses the point: these are symptoms of a shortage of formal employment. The coming unemployment data from the government's periodic labour force survey will show whether the situation is improving or not.
