LJP MP moves Bill seeking National Commission for Youth amid Gen-Z protests
Amidst recent Gen-Z protests over paper leaks and parliamentary debates, an LJP (RV) MP, Arun Bharti, introduced a private member's Bill in the Lok Sabha seeking constitutional status for a permanent National Commission for Youth. The proposed commission would act as a nodal agency to address complex issues like youth unemployment, promote skill development, entrepreneurship, and innovation. The Bill highlights "multidimensional challenges" faced by youth and the potential socio-economic issues if their concerns remain unaddressed. This initiative reflects a differing perception within the NDA alliance regarding youth anxieties compared to the BJP.
