Rahul Gandhi Recasts Youth Outreach Toward Gen Z And Women
Rahul Gandhi is trying new ways to speak with young people in India.
Instead of only giving speeches at huge rallies, he is meeting people in smaller conversations.
One project, called “Chhatron Ki Goonj,” began by discussing students’ problems.
These problems included exam stress, paper leaks and delays in education.
In Pune, some conversations focused especially on young women.
Women discussed safety, careers, early marriage, social control and freedom to make choices.
Gandhi also uses Instagram and other digital formats for quick questions and answers.
The aim is to make politics feel more like a two-way conversation with young voters.
Rahul Gandhi is shifting youth outreach from large rallies toward town halls and digital conversations.
The “Chhatron Ki Goonj” initiative initially addressed exam pressure, paper leaks and education delays.
The initiative began in Kota, Dehradun and Prayagraj before expanding to other locations, including Pune.
Pune events focused on young women’s concerns about careers, safety, workplace culture and social expectations.
Gandhi’s social-media strategy uses informal questions, answers and reels to discuss issues including gig-work stability and mental health.
