National Youth Parliament Scheme

The primary objective of the college is to provide students with education alongside knowledge of the ‘parliamentary system and procedures.’ The Youth Parliament competition plays a crucial role in introducing our youth to the fundamental values and processes of parliamentary democracy. To ensure that the students of the college can make a meaningful contribution to nurturing and strengthening democracy in the present and future, a Youth Parliament has been established in the college.

The Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs has developed a web portal for the Youth Parliament with the aim of spreading the spirit of democracy to every corner of the country. The purpose of this portal is to bring all educational institutions in the country under the umbrella of the National Youth Parliament Scheme.

In addition to contemporary and current issues of national importance, discussions on specific topics such as government policies and programs like ‘Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao’ and the ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’ can be suggested in the Youth Parliament.

National Youth Parliament Festival
