Hundreds of Youth and Workers Launch Bhagat Singh Jan Adhikar Yatra #IndiaNEWSAll #Education
Delhi: The country is facing unprecedented unemployment, inflation and economic inequality, there is no respite from the price rise and with no jobs in sight there is growing frustration among the youth of the country. To address this and many related issues, a countrywide one-month march by the name of Bhagat Singh Jan Adhikar Yatra (BSJAY) is starting today on 12 March 2023 till 14 April 2023.
The Yatra is organised by several students, youth and workers organisations namely the Revolutionary Workers Party of India (RWPI), Naujawan Bharat Sabha, Disha Students Organization, Delhi State Anganwadi Workers and Helpers Union and Bigul Mazdoor Dasta. Starting today, the Yatra will cover Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Haryana, Bihar, Uttrakhand, Punjab, Andhra Pradesh, Chandigarh, Rajasthan and Telangana. This will be carried out in several phases by different yatra groups such that there can be deep interactions with the public in the villages and cities of these states.
In a press conference earlier this week, representatives of various organisations highlighted the shared struggles between students and workers under the anti-people policies of the prevailing BJP government. Talking on behalf of RWPI, Yogesh argued that the government is attempting to use the “frenzy of religion” to divert from the breakdown and removal of basic social security and economic rights. By inventing a false religious enemy, the present government is faithfully implementing the British divide-and-rule policy. In a situation where all the parties like BJP, Congress, SP, BSP, RJD, JDU, and AAP serve the interests of big capitalists, it is crucial to refresh the spirit of revolution. BSJAY is an attempt in that direction.
The Shape of the Beast Called Unemployment in India
Shivani Kaul, President of the Delhi State Anganwadi Workers and Helpers Union, echoed that the purpose of this yatra is to awaken, raise the people’s consciousness, and organize them to fight for their fundamental rights.
Priyamvada, from Disha Students Organization, laid out the dismal state of both primary and higher education, as fees continue to increase in schools and universities across the country while teaching positions remain vacant. The New Education Policy brought in by the Modi government only spearheads privatization and communalisation of education manifold. Vishal, representing the Naujawan Bharat Sabha, made the important connection between the two issues of unemployment and education. The Modi government came to power on the promise of providing two crore jobs every year, yet about 32 crore population of the country is facing the brunt of unemployment.
According to the data of the CMIE (Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy), at present, the unemployment rate in the country has reached the same level as what it was at the time of COVID.
