The success of the student-led Jantar Mantar protests has prompted political parties on both sides of the aisle to reevaluate their strategies for engaging the youth.

The Congress has announced a series of measures to address the concerns of the youth, including the development of an education-to-employment roadmap, the expansion of the Chhatron ki Goonj programme, and a pledge to tackle the government's failure to listen to the youth.
