Youth Parliament

The scheme of Youth Parliament was started on the recommendation of the Fourth All India Whips Conference. Its

objectives are:

1. to acquaint the younger generations with practices and procedures of Parliament;

2. to imbibe the spirit of discipline and tolerance cultivating character in the minds of youth; and

3. to inculcate in the student community the basic values of democracy and to enable them to acquire a proper perspective on the functioning of democratic institutions.

The ministry of parliamentary affairs provides necessary training and encouragement to the states in introducing the scheme.
