Maharashtra Rural Youth Plan Statewide Protest Over Marriage, Jobs and Farm Incomes
Unmarried rural youth in Maharashtra are preparing a statewide agitation to press the government for help in finding brides, reflecting a deeper crisis of demographic imbalance, economic insecurity and social frustration in the state’s countryside. Their demands go beyond marriage assistance to include an all-religion marriage registration bureau, direct financial support, stable rural employment and assured prices for farm produce.
