Welcome to the IYC
Indian Youth Congress (IYC) is the youth wing of the Indian National Congress party.
Pre-Independence: Students very prominently and positively participated in the National Movement. This was very clearly evident in 1905, when students protested against Lord Curzon’s decision of the partition of Bengal. This also had echoes in Northern India where students came out in large numbers to participate in the freedom movement in spite of the fact that the Indian National Congress at that time did not have a political outfit for the youth of the country.
Our Inspiration
Shri. Rahul Gandhi
Shri Rahul Gandhi is the source of inspiration for IYC. He represents the youth of today and their voice. He is the ex-national president of Indian National Congress, the grand old political party of India. He is currently serving as the 12th leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha and as the member of the Lok Sabha for Rae Bareli, Uttar Pradesh, since June 2024. He previously represented the constituency of Wayanad, Kerala, from 2019 to 2024, and Amethi, Uttar Pradesh, from 2004 to 2019. He holds an M.Phill degree in Development Studies from Trinity College, Cambridge University. As a politician with grit, he vociferously champions the causes of the common man in and out of the parliament. The issues endearing to the poor, marginalized, farmers, women and downtrodden remain closer to him. His thoughts and ideas are what drive the IYC to transcend different boundaries. Coming from a family who had dedicated their lives in the service of the nation, Rahul Gandhi remains embedded into the realities of the nation.

IYC conveys its protest through Candle March, poster, graffiti and Social Media.
Shri Krishna Allavaru

Shri Uday Bhanu Chib
NATIONAL PRESIDENT, IYC
He is very vocal about the issues affecting the youth and leaves no stone unturned in highlighting them. He firmly believes in the role of the youth in the policy-making process of the nation. The youth cannot be used only for raising slogans in the political rallies, but they have to be a participant in decision-making process. Shri Uday Bhanu Chib provides ample space to each IYC workers to express his opinions and ideas and incorporates them in the working of the organization.
