Shiromani Akali Dal has a dedicated youth wing, the Youth Akali Dal (YAD), which regularly conducts membership drives, grassroots campaigns, and political outreach under leaders such as Sarabjit Singh Jhinjher. Yet critics argue that while young workers are often visible during campaigns, the party's biggest decisions and most influential roles continue to remain in the hands of senior leaders.
