The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Indian Youth Congress&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is the youth wing of the [[Indian National Congress]] party. The Indian Youth Congress was a department of the Indian National Congress from the period just after the [[Partition of India]] in 1947 until the late 1960s. Then prime minister [[Indira Gandhi]] gave the Youth Congress a new dimension by establishing it as a frontal organisation of the Congress, with the objective of doing [[social work]]. [[Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi]] was the first elected president of the Indian Youth Congress who later became Minister of Broadcasting and Parliamentary Affairs in the [[Indian Cabinet Ministers|Indian cabinet]]; [[Narayan Dutt Tiwari]] was the President from 1969 to 1971. [[Jitin Prasada]] was also the president of the Indian Youth Congress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the 1970s, under the leadership of [[Sanjay Gandhi]], the Youth Congress undertook activities such as tree plantation, [[family planning]], and fought against domestic violence and [[dowry death]]s. After the death of Sanjay Gandhi, [[Rajiv Gandhi]] took over in charge of the Youth Congress. After he became prime minister in 1984, Rajiv Gandhi reduced the voting age to 18. [[Rahul Gandhi]] was appointed a general secretary of the [[All India Congress Committee]] on 24 September 2007 and was given charge of the Indian Youth Congress&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Youth Congress ways&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Reform School: Can the Youth Congress expunge the sins of its fathers before it inherits their wicked ways?|url=http://www.caravanmagazine.in/PrintThisStory.aspx?StoryId=1017|publisher=[[The Caravan]]|access-date=9 May 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111018153216/http://caravanmagazine.in/PrintThisStory.aspx?StoryId=1017|archive-date=18 October 2011|df=dmy-all}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; along with the [[National Students Union of India]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.hindu.com/2007/09/25/stories/2007092550240100.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071015065913/http://www.hindu.com/2007/09/25/stories/2007092550240100.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=15 October 2007| title=Rahul Gandhi gets Youth Congress Charge|date=25 September 2007|work=[[The Hindu]]|access-date=25 September 2007}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==History==&lt;br /&gt;
In the early 1970s, the Youth Congress was mostly the work of [[Saiyid Nurul Hasan]], who served as the [[Minister of Education (India)|education minister]] from 1972 to 1977. The organisation&amp;#039;s most effective unit was the West Bengal Youth Congress, where its first elected president, [[Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi]], who transformed the unit into a full-time cadre, made it a body not to be ignored.&amp;lt;ref name=era&amp;gt;Jaffrelot, Christophe, and Pratinav Anil, &amp;#039;An Era of Sultans: sanjay&amp;#039;s emergency&amp;#039;, India&amp;#039;s First Dictatorship (2021; online edn, Oxford Academic, 17 June 2021), https://doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780197577820.003.0005 , accessed 11 Mar. 2024.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During [[The Emergency (India)|the Emergency]], the organisation became an important body in the use of [[Sanjay Gandhi]]. The banning of the [[Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh]] helped with adding members from the banned organisation.&amp;lt;ref name=era/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
