Prayagraj, 15 Aug
(HS): Under the joint aegis of Legal Chariot and Shankh Prayagraj,
registrations have commenced for the upcoming VidhikKumbh Youth Convention,
scheduled to be held on September 20–21. To familiarize students with the
event, members of the organizing committee addressed the students today at the
lawns of the University of Allahabad, introducing them to the objectives and
format of the convention. The VidhikKumbh Youth Convention, Prayagraj, will
bring together the Youth Parliament and Model United Nations (MUN) on a single
platform, providing young minds with an opportunity to engage in debate,
diplomacy, policy-making, and legislative processes. This event will emulate
the functioning of democratic and international institutions, fostering skills
such as leadership, teamwork, research, communication, and global awareness
among participants—thus preparing them to become responsible and informed
future leaders and citizens.
With participation
expected from over 500 students from various states of India, the convention
will be given the format of a Youth Parliament. A distinctive feature of this
event is that the policies formulated by the winning delegates will be
officially published. The convention will feature eight committees—Lok Sabha,
Rajya Sabha, Vidhan Sabha, UNGA, UNHRC, AISM, Indian Media Conclave, and the
International Press—which will deliberate on contemporary issues that have
never before been addressed in any Youth Parliament. Participation in
the convention requires a minimum educational qualification of high school
pass. Thereafter, students from any academic discipline or class are eligible
to participate.
