Thousands attended job fair held on Rahul Gandhi’s birthday: Indian Youth Congress
New Delhi (PTI): The Indian Youth Congress (IYC) on Thursday claimed that thousands of young job seekers turned up at its job fair held at the Talkatora Stadium here to mark the 55th birthday of Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha.
Calling the event a “historic platform for employment,” the IYC said that over 100 companies participated in the fair, offering more than 5,000 job opportunities.
"Preparations were in full swing in every corner… and now history is being made. Talkatora Stadium has become the biggest platform for employment today," the youth wing said in a post on X.
Sharing videos of large crowds, the IYC emphasised, “This is neither an election rally nor a religious gathering. This is a crowd of thousands of youth looking for employment. When the platform is of opportunity, every step moves towards hope.”
IYC National President Uday Bhanu Chib remarked that the turnout was proof of the youth’s desperation for employment.
"These people are not affiliated with any political party. They are students who have studied hard but are still jobless. For many, this is the first real opportunity in the past 11 years," he said.
Chib also pointed out that as the Congress is currently in Opposition, no government jobs could be offered at the fair. "If we were in power, job fairs like this would include government jobs too," he added.

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
