Rahul Gandhi: Degree certificates mean nothing amid India's jobs crisis
A big leader named Rahul Gandhi went to a city called Prayagraj to talk to students.
He wanted to talk about how hard it is for young people to find jobs in India.
He said that even finishing school and getting a degree does not mean you will get a job.
He thinks this is a big problem for the country's young people.
He said that there are about 400 million young people in India and they are very important.
Rahul Gandhi said that companies take people's personal information, called data, and use it for themselves.
He thinks young people are instead told to make short videos called reels or do delivery work.
He wants students to think about these problems and ask for better chances.
The ground where he spoke was very wet from rain, so workers cleaned it up with machines before he arrived.
Rahul Gandhi, Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, addressed the 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' event at Kayastha Pathshala (KP) Ground in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, on Saturday.
He said obtaining a degree is no longer enough to secure a job, declaring that 'all doors of employment are closed in India'.
His address focused on unemployment, recruitment delays, education and the use of young people's data, framed around 'dard' (pain), 'data' and 'daulat' (wealth).
Gandhi said youth data is 'snatched away' and handed to big companies, with young people told to make reels or work at Blinkit and Uber.
He called India's roughly 40 crore young people the country's greatest strength, while the KP Ground was waterlogged after overnight rain and had to be prepared for the event.
