Viksit Bharat Youth Parliament 2025 to kick off in New Delhi

By TIOL News Service

NEW DELHI, MAR 31, 2025: MINISTRY of Youth Affairs and Sports, under the leadership of Union Minister of Youth Affairs & Sports and Labour & Employment Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, is organizing the Viksit Bharat Youth Parliament from 1st - 3rd April 2025. This event, a reimagination of the traditional Youth Parliament, serves as a powerful platform to connect young individuals with politics and public policy, fostering their engagement in governance and nation-building.

For the first time since COVID-19, all District Nodal Rounds (300) were conducted in person, ensuring greater participation and direct engagement. Over 75,000 young people from every State and Union Territory submitted their video entries through the MY Bharat portal, showcasing their enthusiasm and commitment to shaping the nation's future. The entire selection process was conducted digitally, reflecting the growing integration of technology in governance initiatives.

The Viksit Bharat Youth Parliament is structured into three key stages:

District Nodal Rounds:

The discussion on One Nation, One Election reached every town and village through massive dialogues held at 300 district nodes.

To qualify, candidates uploaded a 1-minute video answering the question: "What does Viksit Bharat mean to you?"

State Rounds:

Held in over 17 State assemblies and other government establishments, these rounds marked a historic milestone in bridging the gap between youth and governance.

Sessions were presided over by State Speakers and Governors, lending credibility and significance to youth discussions.

National Round (1st - 3rd April 2025):

The top 3 candidates from each State/UT (totaling 108 youth) have been selected to participate at the national level.

Participants will engage in high-level discussions and activities, including

a. Question Hour : Focused on One Nation, One Election and Viksit Bharat, culminating in a resolution.

b. Masterclass : Conducted by a senior Member of Parliament, equipping youth with essential oratory and leadership skills.

c. Parliamentary Experience : Attending sessions in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha for firsthand exposure to governance.

d. PM Sangrahalaya Visit : Providing insights into India's political journey and leadership stories.

e. Awards Ceremony : On 3rd April, the Viksit Bharat Youth Parliament Awards and National Youth Awards will be conferred.

The Viksit Bharat Youth Parliament is more than just a programme-it is a transformative movement. The ideas and discussions generated through this initiative will extend far beyond Central Hall, resonating across the nation and paving the way for a new era of youth-led policy engagement and national progress.
