Constitution evoked lively discussions in which 55 delegates took part. These documents were adopted after intense debate for three days. Sharp discussion took place on two main points of the Policy Statement. Whether the AIYF should propagate socialism as one of its main aims: The attitude to general political questions and the political parties. On the first point, at least it was agreed that though the broad ideas of socialism were becoming popular among youth, there also existed sharp differences on this question. Some believed in scientific socialism, others in democratic socialism and so on. Except Andhra Youth Federation, no other constituent organisation had accepted socialism as organizational aim. Even then, it was unanimously accepted that some of the basic ideas of socialism were clear to the youth. Therefore, it was finally decided that propagation of the ideas like the equality of rights and an end to class divisions should be incorporated among the aims of the AIYF. On the second point, it was made clear by the discussion that the AIYF would not simply confine itself to sports and culture alone. These activities were important. But the AIYF would also participate in, organize and lead struggles and activities on unemployment, illiteracy, sovereignty, national independence, democracy, lack of facilities for training and health, etc. as a responsible organisation. Besides, it would participate actively in politics and political activities. Therefore, it was also a political organisation. The All India Youth Federation made it clear that 'it will not have any allegiance to any political party. The AIYF would be an independent organisation of the youth on the basis of the programme molded by the youth. Its policies would correspond to the interests of the youth of the country. At the same time, there would be no discrimination against the members and followers of any political parties as long as they abided by the aims and constitution of the organisation. There was no claim to a monopoly of youth movement. Other organisations and movements were recognized as a force. The AIYF decided to bring about co-operation among youths belonging to all the youth organisations on common issues, not only the members of particular parties, but more so the vast majority of masses following them. Besides these two important documents, the conference adopted a Programme of Action for the ensuing months, such as observance of May 16, 1959, as anti US-Pak Pact Day,
