Youth Parliament

Chhatra Sansad Youth Parliament is a platform for debaters to don the hats of parliamentarians from all over the country. This initiative promises to serve as an enriching learning experience for one and all. Most of all this holistic experience inculcates a culture of debating, discussing, and deliberating for students, wherein they understand current affairs, debate techniques, and research skills among others, thus giving them a holistic learning experience. In addition to this, we provide training sessions for students prior to the conference.

The chairs of our Conventional Committees have been specifically instructed to help new parliamentarians improve by guiding them and giving them tips and pointers during the conference; while in Specialised Committees, debaters will face challenges in unique environments like never before.

All resolutions and bills passed at the Youth Parliament will be sent to the Prime Minister’s Office, the Niti Ayog, and the United Nations for their approval.

Youth parliament helps in:

  • Enhancing communication skills.
  • Enhances the kids interest in national affairs
  • Develops creative mindset

Vision & Goal

Chhatra Sansad Youth Parliament is an academic simulation of the Indian Parliament and Institutions which is aimed at educating the students about the roots of our democracy, current affairs, national issues and understanding of Indian politics.

The participants play role of the Parliamentarians and Bureaucrats in various councils of our country such as Loksabha, Rajya Sabha, GST Council etc. which gives them complete insights into the Workings of Indian Parliament and Indian Institutions.

We provide an atmosphere to develop personalities of the participants.
