The Indian Youth Congress has launched Aam Aadmi ka Sipahi, Soldier of common people (AKKS) a nationwide movement to confront the problems of the common man.The Aam Aadmi or the Common Man has been at the centre of the Congress Party’s and UPA’s policies and programs. Indeed, the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), the Right to Information Act (RTI), Sarva Siksha Abhiyaan, Bharat Nirman Yojana, Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana, National Rural Health Misson etc were all initiated not only to renew the historical bonds that exist between the common people and the Congress party but also to empower the common people to take his rightful place as an active participant in the Nation-building process.
Kuputo Shohe, President, NPYC and Dokiu Kecham, State Level Co-ordinator, AAKS states in a press release, “It is being observed that the implementation of NREGA in Nagaland has a long way to go to fulfill its intended purpose. In compliance with the direction of Indian Youth Congress, the NPYC will continue to carry out the activities of AAKS with special reference to NREGA, NRHM, SSA, RTI, Bharat Nerman, Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana etc. and carry forward the message of the people friendly policies and programmes of Congress led UPA government to the door steps of the people living in the rural villages.”
“It is also true that despite these historic steps taken by the UPA, the benefits of these schemes more often than not, do not reach their intended beneficiaries, more so in non-Congress ruled states. At the historic Centennial Session of the AICC at Mumbai, Rajivji had famously lamented that of every rupee sent by the Government of India for the poor; only a fraction reaches to those it was intended for. Not much has changed since then,” the NPYC also said.
By working alongside the common people at the grassroots, the AAKS will ensure that this is no longer so. In this sense, the AAKS is as much a social movement as it is a political one. Needless to say, it is the youth who plays the most significant role in any social movement. It is only fitting then that the IYC has taken the leadership in the movement to empower the common people who had hitherto been left out of India’s march towards taking its rightful place in the 21st century at the forefront of Nations.
“We wish AAKS all the very best in their efforts to fight for the rights of the Common Man,” the release further stated.
