The Congress on Sunday promised to give Rs 8,500 ($98.64) every month to educated unemployed youths in Delhi for one year if it comes to power.
The financial assistance will be provided under a scheme called the 'Yuva Udaan Yojana' and it is not free, AICC general secretary Sachin Pilot said at a press conference.
"We will provide financial assistance to youths who can show their skills in a company, factory or organisation. They will get money through these companies. This is not a scheme under which one will get money while sitting at home," Pilot said.
