My Parliament is a policy awareness initiative which fosters an environment for active participation of the youth in democracy.

We get enthusiastic youth of today to understand know-how’s of policy making, through numerous seminars, workshops, simulated parliamentary debates on bills and policy making and interaction with public authorities.

Our goal is to provide greater opportunities to the youth helping them make meaningful contribution to the process of nation building.

MY Parliament’s budget literacy initiative is a one of its kind and needs to be replicated across the country for strengthening participatory budgetary practices
