Prime minister, Indira Gandhi gave the Youth Congress a new dimension by establishing it as a frontal organisation of the Congress Party, with the objective of doing social work and arguing against right-wing parties. The Indian Youth Congress is the youth wing of the Indian National Congress party. Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi was the first elected governor of the Indian Youth Congress; he later became
Minister of Information and Broadcasting and Parliamentary affairs in the Indian cabinet. Rajiv Gandhi took over in charge of the Youth Congress. After he became prime minister in 1984, Rajiv Gandhi made a historical decision of reducing the age of voting to 18 years. We believe that youth is the future of our country. If you are a leader or aspire to be one, come join one of the oldest youth organization with a glorious history of youth participation in the building of our great country. Come be a part of the transformation and change for a better leadership tomorrow. The Indian Youth Congress is the youth wing of the Indian National Congress Party.
