The National Youth Parliament Festival, inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Mann Ki Baat address in December 2017, aims to strengthen democratic values among young Indians. It encourages discipline, tolerance, and an understanding of parliamentary practices and procedures. Moreover, it emphasizes the importance of active citizenship, leadership, and the realization of youth potential in contributing to national development.
The event not only serves as a platform for young voices to be heard but also aligns with the government’s efforts to engage and empower the youth in the transformative journey towards a developed and vibrant democracy.
As the finalists prepare to take the stage in the Central Hall of the Parliament, the National Youth Parliament Festival 2024 promises to be a landmark event, reflecting the dynamic and constructive participation of India’s youth in the democratic process.
