Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma says the government should create a separate department focused on skill development and empowerment of young people and that it should use the labels “son” and “daughter” rather than terms like “Gen Z” or “Alpha.” He frames the suggestion as a way to guide how society refers to younger generations.
NDTV reports Sarma’s remarks as part of a broader proposal that links youth policy to institutional support. The outlet also highlights his stance on language and identity labels associated with generational cohorts.
Other outlets on the same story provide context around Sarma’s public comments and the planned departmental focus on training and empowerment. While outlets agree on the substance of creating a department for young people, they vary in how prominently they emphasize either the generational-label issue or the youth-skills policy element.
