The Story in Brief
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi told students in Prayagraj that educational certificates have lost their value because they no longer guarantee jobs. Speaking at the 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' programme on Saturday, he said India's 40 crore youths are the country's greatest strength but face closed doors in employment.
Gandhi blamed declining manufacturing, difficulty in getting loans, repeated exam paper leaks, and artificial intelligence replacing jobs for worsening youth prospects. He praised recent student protests for 'lighting a light in the darkness' and urged young people to push for systemic change without resorting to hatred or violence.
The Indian Opinion
Rahul Gandhi's claim that 'all doors of employment are closed' is an exaggeration that ignores the many government schemes and private-sector jobs created in recent years. Yet the underlying problems of exam leaks, loan hurdles, and AI disruption are real and widely felt. The question is not whether certificates have meaning, but whether India can reform exam integrity and skill training fast enough to match workforce needs.
