Key participants included Chirag Dube, who took on the role of Prime Minister, Janvi Sharma as Speaker, and Paramjeet Kumar as Leader of Opposition and Shiva Dwivedi as ruling party MP.

Dr. Ashok Kumar served as the faculty coordinator for the event, ensuring smooth coordination and execution.

In his key speech, Registrar Prof. Rehman said that the objective of the Youth Parliament is to deepen the roots of democracy by fostering discipline, tolerance for diverse views, and enhancing students’ understanding of parliamentary procedures and democratic governance.

“It allowed our students to learn firsthand about the functioning of the government, constitutional values, and the importance of living in a democratic society,” Prof. Rehman added.

On the occasion, Dean P&D, Dr. Yaswant Mehta said that many issues were discussed during the Youth Parliament including social justice, social reforms, economic development, communal harmony, education, Swachhata, Environment, Climate Change, labour reforms and other issues.

“These parliamentary sessions were not only informative but also transformative, allowing students to gain firsthand experience in governance and public discourse,” he said.

The event concluded with a screening of the one-hour video and felicitation ceremony, where participating students were honored with certificates and mementos by the Registrar, Dean P&D, event coordinator, and other dignitaries.
