Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given a clarion call for youth-led development. He has said that the youth should be the voice of New India and it is they who should find solutions and contribute to policy.
In his Mann Ki Baat address on 31st December 2017 he had said,
“I got an idea whether we could organize a mock parliament in every district of India? Where the youth between 18 and 25 could sit together and brain storm about new India, find ways and chalk our plans. How could we realize our resolves before 2022? How could we build an India of the dreams of our freedom fighters?”
He categorically spoke about giving a chance to the youth to put forth their views on various issues concerning the country.
“I propose that a mock Parliament be organized… comprising one young person selected from each district who would participate and deliberate on how a new India could be formed in the next five years. How can resolve be transformed into reality?”
Union Minister for Youth Affairs and I&B Col Rajyavardhan Rathore will inaugurate the Youth Parliament in New Delhi today at 3.15 p.m.
