Maharashtra State Joint convention of DYFI and SFI against acute unemployment and rampant commercialization of education calls for state level agitation.

The convention decided on a plan of action to mobilize youth and students in a big way in the movement. The campaign will start in campuses, town centres and villages in the month of October followed by district / taluka level rallies in early November. A state wide rally will be held in Mumbai on 29th and charter of demands will be submitted to state government. 

From December onwards sustained agitations will be organized across the state on specific demands. The struggles will be directed against various authorities considering the level of authority at which the specific demand can be achieved. Later, volunteers from all districts will gather once more to the state capital -this time for a sustained agitation at state head quarters of government departments and PSUs.

The convention also decided to prepare a draft urban employment guarantee bill for Maharashtra state with the help of pro-people economists, retired administrative officers and legal experts. 

DYFI and SFI in Maharashtra are determined to mobilize youth and students in a big way to put up a militant resistance against commercialization of education and policies creating unemployment.

The convention was attended by Com. Ashok Dawle, CPIM Maharashtra state secretary, Com. V Sivadasan All India Secretary, SFI.
