10,000 students to gather for Bharatiya Chhatra Sansad

To promote political participation and faith in democracy, around 10,000 politically and socially active students from almost 450 universities will gather for an Indian Student Parliament (Bharatiya Chhatra Sansad/BCS) to be hosted in Pune in January.

The three-day youth conclave from January 10 to 12 will see participation of students, policy makers, politicians and leaders deliberate over various topics like youth leadership, democracy and social media, caste census, women’s safety, folklore and culture among other topics.

“These leaders will play a pivotal role in shaping our policies, revitalising our democracy, and bridging the gap between the current state of governance and the way we aspire to be governed,” said executive president of MIT World Peace University, Rahul Karad.
