MLAs from 16 states will also be awarded for Best Performance of Parliamentary Practice. There is a separate session called the ‘youth to youth connect’ that is a platform for various groups of youngsters for exchange of ideas and put forth their views.
Rahul Karad, founder of the Bharatiya Chhatra Sansad said, “We started this programme in 2011 with a view to get the youth together on one platform. The exchange of ideas will take place on serious ongoing issues of the country. It is the largest classroom in India to evolve future political leaders”.
