"Respected elders, teachers, media personnel, and my beloved fellow students,
Greetings to everyone gathered here today.
We stand before you not out of anger, but out of deep concern, hope, and an unwavering commitment to justice. Today, we raise our voices in a peaceful, lawful, and democratic manner against the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET).
NEET was promised as a system of uniformity. However, for countless students—especially those coming from rural areas, state-board backgrounds, and economically disadvantaged families—it has created a deep sense of inequality. Education is supposed to be a ladder that lifts every child toward their dreams, but for many, NEET has become an impenetrable wall.
