AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi on Thursday advised party members to reach grassroot level, understand problems of the people and redress their grievances.

The Congress leader made these remarks at a meeting with members of the party's student's wing NSUI during the "Lakshya 2011" programme held at a resort on the outskirts of the city here amid tight security.

Rahul, who is on two-day visit to his constituency Amethi, arrived here this morning and reached Anandi resort, about 25 km away, to attend the NSUI programme.

At the meeting, NSUI members said, Rahul advised them to reach out to masses and rake up issues of development so that people can associate themselves with the party.

"There is a need to reach at grass root level and understand problems of the people. You all should fight for getting the problems redressed," Rahul is stated to have said so in the meet.

He also told youths to propagate central welfare schemes and ensure that its benefit reached the beneficiaries.

Rahul also interacted with the NSUI workers and heard their problems.

Media was kept away from the programme.
