‘Yuvanidhi’ Empowers Young Men & Women For Their Future’

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah yesterday launched the Congress party’s fifth poll promise, ‘Yuvanidhi’, and stated that it is being implemented to empower young men and women for their future. This offers a monthly unemployment stipend of ₹3,000 to graduates and ₹1,500 to diploma holders.

After launching the scheme, the CM addressed the gathering, saying that ‘Yuvanidhi’ was launched on the birthday of Vivekananda, who had declared that he does not believe in any religion that does not feed the hungry. The CM also asserted, “As Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, Surjewala, and I announced in the election manifesto, we have implemented the scheme.”

He further said that his government formulated guarantee schemes as a solution to the problems of all sections of society, especially when the prices of food items have skyrocketed, farmers problems have increased, and unemployment has increased. He also expressed satisfaction in fulfilling all five guarantees promised by the Congress, including the Shakti, Gruha Jyoti, Gruha Lakshmi, and Anna Bhagya schemes.

He further said that the implementation of this scheme is to give strength to the future of young men and women so that they do not become disillusioned. He further praised ex-PM Rajiv Gandhi and said that the ex-PM always worked for the future of the youth of the country.

Already, 70 thousand young men and women have registered for the scheme, he added. Every young man and woman is requested to register for the scheme and avail of the benefits. The CM said that the state can become the garden of peace for all races through Shivamogga, the district known for its movements.
