Not a party. Not a coaching centre. Not another motivational scam.

Akhil Bharatiya Cockroach Parishad

For students, job seekers, interns, gig workers and everyone politely asked to suffer quietly.

We are not insects. We are evidence.

Burning Issues

The Youth Survival Dashboard

A public wall of the everyday crisis young people are told to treat as personal failure.

Work Without Future

Joblessness and Underemployment

Young people are told to study, compete, upskill and stay positive, while stable work becomes scarce and unstable work becomes normal.

They say unemployment is falling. We say the group chat has three engineers, two tutors, one delivery rider and seven government exam veterans.

13.6%

Urban youth unemployment

App Is Boss

Gig Work and Algorithmic Bosses

The platform calls the worker a partner, but the app decides price, route, rating, penalty, visibility and punishment.

Congratulations, you are your own boss. Your boss is an app you cannot argue with.

Projected gig workforce

Merit Buffering

Exam Leaks and Managed Merit

Students are told merit is sacred, but leaks, coaching inequality, form fees, delays and litigation keep turning futures into lotteries.

We prepared for the exam. The exam prepared for the market.

Certificate Factory

Education Market and Certificate Hunger

Families pay for school, tuition, college, coaching, mock tests, certification, upskilling and resume polish, then youth are blamed for not being employable enough.

First they sold us education. Then they sold us employability. Then they sold us confidence.

Fear Factory

Student Distress and the Fear Assembly Line

Student distress is treated as weakness, while the social machine produces debt, isolation, rank anxiety, family pressure and future panic.

It is not pressure. It is an industrial process with motivational posters.

13,000+

Student suicides annually

Salary Evaporation

Rent, Food and Delayed Adulthood

Young workers are shown CTC dreams while real life deducts rent, commute, food, data, medicine, exam fees and family support.

Salary credited. Rent deducted. Food deducted. Transport deducted. Hope pending.

Unequal Starting Lines

Caste, Class and Access

Some youth inherit English, land, contacts, safety and confidence. Others inherit debt, silence, humiliation and the burden of proving they deserve to stand in the same room.

Some people network. Some people first need permission to exist without explanation.

Unpaid Economy

Gendered Work and Invisible Labour

Women are called unemployed while domestic work, care work, safety planning and social control consume their time and choices.

She is unemployed, they said. Then she cooked, cleaned, cared, studied, travelled unsafe roads and applied for jobs.

Switch Off Future

Internet Shutdowns and Digital Discipline

Education, payments, applications, emergency contact, work and speech depend on internet access, yet connectivity can be shut down in the name of order.

Online class? Shut down. Job form? Shut down. Payment? Shut down. Protest? Obviously shut down.

The Scam Table

What they say vs what happens

Education Scam
Study hard.
Pay more every year, then buy coaching to survive what education did not provide.
Exam Scam
Merit wins.
Merit waits while leaks, delays, litigation and privilege take the front seat.
Skill Scam
Upskill yourself.
The course sells hope. The job still pays less than rent.
Gig Scam
Be your own boss.
Your boss has no face, no office and no appeal button.
CTC Scam
Great package.
In-hand salary enters. Rent performs a surgical strike.
Motivation Scam
Believe in yourself.
The system avoids responsibility and sells you a notebook.
