Rahul Gandhi is visiting Chennai to participate in the Congress party's 'Voice of Students' event at Island Grounds. The initiative addresses irregularities in the Indian education system, NEET exam leaks, tuition fee hikes, and youth unemployment.
Over 100,000 students registered across Tamil Nadu via website and QR code. Because accommodating a crowd of that magnitude in a single venue remained an operational impossibility, organizers instituted a selection process. Ultimately, 10,000 students were issued official identification cards granting them in-person access to the session.
The operational sequence for the summit unfolded on October 10, 2026. Rahul Gandhi touched down at Chennai airport at 12:30 in the afternoon. At 1:30 he met Chief Minister Vijay at the Neelankarai residence. Later he met Congress party executives and senior leaders at the Taj Connemara Hotel. The 'Voice of Students' event at Island Grounds is scheduled for 5:00 in the evening.
