Activities
Yuva Morcha has been active in various activities across the state.
- Building Gorata Martyrs memorial
During Hyderabad's accession to India, around 200 people were killed by Razakars in the tiny village of Gorta in the Bidar district. BJYM Karnataka is building a memorial in remembrance of those who lost their lives.
- Protest against [...] incidents in Karnataka
In Karnataka, lots of [...] incidents were reported. BJP Yuva Morcha instigated statewide agitation insisting on security for women
- Padayatra demanding water in suburban districts of Bengaluru
Bengaluru rural, Chikkaballapura and Kolar are adjoining districts of the city of Bengaluru. These are developing districts which are projected to house premier commercial areas in the future. Unfortunately the area suffers from an acute water shortage. BJP Yuva Morcha held a walkathon from Chikkaballapur to Bengaluru demanding a permanent water solution for these areas. The walkathon gained high popularity and farmers voluntarily joined it, making a crowd of around 6000 people. Unable to withstand the fact of people participation in large numbers the state government sabotaged the yatra by detaining the leaders leading the yatra.
- Yuva Chaitanya Yatre
Yuva Chaitanya Yatra, a campaign focused on clean living, was carried out with three goals:
- Swachcha Bharat (Clean India campaign, called upon by Shiri Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India)
- Narcotics Free Karnataka
- Spreading the message of Swami Vivekananda amongst youth
The yatra travelled across 14 districts covering 1153 kilometers in 7 days.
