"Your Dreams Won't Be Betrayed": Karra Leads 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' Outreach in Kashmir

Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, July 2: Amid growing anxiety among students over alleged paper leaks, repeated examination disruptions and mounting academic pressure, Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee President Tariq Hameed Karra on Wednesday interacted with around 1,000 students, teachers and parents under the nationwide "Chhatron Ki Goonj" campaign launched by Rahul Gandhi.
The programme, held in Srinagar, witnessed emotional interactions as students openly shared their experiences regarding repeated examination postponements, alleged irregularities, delayed recruitment processes, unemployment, increasing academic pressure and the emotional and financial burden these challenges have placed on families. The atmosphere during the interaction remained emotionally charged, with many students expressing frustration, anxiety and a deep sense of uncertainty about their future. Several students also voiced fears that repeated disruptions and lack of transparency in recruitment processes were eroding their confidence and diminishing their chances of securing stable careers.
Students also spoke about uncertainties surrounding examinations, alleged paper leak incidents, rescheduling of competitive exams like NEET and the growing mental stress among youth.
Several students expressed deep concern over what they described as a "crisis of trust" in the education and recruitment system. Many said they spend years preparing for competitive examinations only to face repeated postponements, cancellations and allegations of irregularities.
"We study day and night with the hope of securing a better future, but repeated paper leaks and delays are destroying our confidence," said one student during the interaction.
Another student said the uncertainty surrounding examinations has created immense mental pressure among aspirants, with many fearing that their careers are being pushed into uncertainty.
Some students also highlighted the financial burden on families due to expensive coaching classes and repeated examination preparations, while others spoke about rising unemployment and shrinking opportunities despite years of academic effort.
Addressing the gathering, Karra assured students that their "hard work and sacrifices will not go waste," while asserting that the Congress party stands firmly with the student community in their fight for transparency and accountability in the education system.
"Students are the future of the nation and their aspirations cannot be compromised. The repeated controversies around examinations and recruitment processes have shaken the confidence of youth. Congress will continue to raise its voice until justice is ensured," Karra said.
