Formed in 1995 in a youth conference held at Puri in Orissa, the organisation is better known as Inquilabi Naujawan Sabha in the Hindi heartland. Swadhinata, Pragati and Janwad -- independence, progress and democracy was the motto it adopted since its foundation.

The organisation takes its guiding inspiration from the youth awakening in the wake of Naxalbari struggle, when at the call of Comrade Charu Majumdar a whole generation of youth all over India left their home and hearth to integrate with landless and poor peasants as well as workers and laid down their lives for the cause of India’s democratic revolution. It inherits the spirit of Bhagat Singh who kissed the gallows for the cause of motherland’s freedom from colonial chains. Bhagat Singh, in the later period of his life, had realised that not anarchism but Marxism was the real weapon for emancipation of the downtrodden people of India.

Its first conference was held at Calcutta in August 1997, Inquilabi Naujawan Sabha (RYA) adopted patriotism, social justice and democracy as its main slogans. The conference decided to take major initiatives against the criminalsiation of politics and new economic policy. It also decided to intervene on the question of dalit oppression on the demand of equal opportunities for dalits in developmental process. The organisation observes 31 March, the day Chandrashekhar, ex-president of JNUSU and a youth CPI(ML) leader embrced martyrdom at Siwan to the bullets of the assains, as National Youth Day.

In this conference the following office bearers were elected : President : Rajaram Singh; Vice President : Jayatu Deshmukh; General Secretary : Lal Bahadur Singh; Secretaries : Mohammad Salim, Ashok Pradhan and Rabindra Rongpi.
