You play a critical role in student politics, raising key issues in our colleges and universities, and creating leadership at an early age. NSUI has a glorious history and a bright future. Despite challenges, I am confident that you would continue advocating for justice, freedom and truth, thereby inspiring the next generation.

In Another Twitter message by former Congress President Shri Rahul Gandhi, he said, “Warm greetings to all members of the NSUI family on its 54th Foundation Day! NSUI boasts a rich legacy of leadership, nurturing young minds, and driving positive societal change. Continue inspiring and uplifting the aspirations of students nationwide. As the student wing of the Congress Party, it is your duty to ensure that all students are aware of our promises, especially those related to YuvaNyay. The youth of India must be informed about our revolutionary initiatives, such as:

• Pehli Naukri Pakki: A guaranteed apprenticeship with a stipend of `1 lakh/year.
• Bharti Bharosa: 30 lakh government vacancies to be filled.
• One time write off of all student educational loans, including unpaid interest as on 15 March, 2024. Let’s reach out to first-time voters and inspire them with our vision for a brighter future for the nation.
