For generations, Punjab’s idea of success has been closely tied to government jobs, migration abroad, family business and a secure career. But Gen Z is growing up with very different ambitions, from entrepreneurship and digital careers to AI, content creation and new ideas of success. At the same time, questions around jobs, migration, skills and staying connected to Punjab are becoming harder to ignore. Is Punjab’s Gen Z moving beyond the traditional “settle abroad” dream or simply finding a new way to achieve it ?

B) Going abroad still remains the biggest ambition.
C) Entrepreneurship and digital careers are changing the dream.
D) Punjab needs to create more reasons for its youth to stay.
The BJP’s decision to conclude its ‘Nasha Mukt Punjab’ yatras in Jalandhar looks less like a logistical choice and more like an electoral calculation. Doaba accounts for 23 of Punjab’s 117 Assembly seats, while Jalandhar combines a sizeable SC population, strong NRI networks, an established BJP cadre and the political influence of Dera Sachkhand Ballan. With the BJP trying to expand beyond its traditional urban base, is Jalandhar being deliberately positioned as the party’s gateway to a wider Doaba breakthrough in 2027 ?
भाजपा का ‘नशा मुक्त पंजाब’ यात्राओं का समापन जालंधर में करना महज सुविधाजनक आयोजन नहीं, बल्कि एक सोची-समझी चुनावी रणनीति नजर आती है। दोआबा की 117 में से 23 विधानसभा सीटें हैं, जबकि जालंधर में बड़ी एस.सी. आबादी, मजबूत एन.आर.आई. नेटवर्क, भाजपा का संगठनात्मक आधार और डेरा सचखंड बल्लां का प्रभाव मौजूद है। ऐसे में, जब भाजपा अपने पारंपरिक शहरी आधार से आगे बढ़ना चाहती है, क्या जालंधर को 2027 में पूरे दोआबा में बड़ी सेंध लगाने के प्रवेशद्वार के तौर पर तैयार किया जा रहा है ?
With Amit Shah’s mega rally in Jalandhar being projected as the BJP’s big launchpad for the 2027 Punjab election campaign, the party is planning a massive show of strength, with workers expected from all 117 constituencies. After the BJP’s long struggle to establish itself as a major force in Punjab, is Shah now being brought in to turn the party’s organisational push into an electoral breakthrough or will the mega rally prove that filling 50 acres is easier than filling the ballot box ?
