over 7,000 young women<\/strong> in a landmark exercise of structured democratic participation and youth-led policy dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis large-scale national engagement reflects the Government\u2019s continued commitment to placing Yuva Shakti <\/strong>at the centre of policy-making. Notably, several ideas reflected in the Union Budget 2026<\/strong> draw inspiration from deliberations held during the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue (VBYLD) 2026<\/strong>, reinforcing the role of structured youth consultations in shaping national priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpanning the country, the programme was held across Mumbai (Maharashtra), Amaravati (Andhra Pradesh), Bengaluru (Karnataka), Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh), Raipur (Chhattisgarh), Bhubaneswar (Odisha), Hisar (Haryana), Delhi, Chandigarh, Shillong (North-East Region), Ahmedabad (Gujarat), Hyderabad (Telangana), Jaipur (Rajasthan), Ranchi (Jharkhand), Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh), Patna (Bihar), and Srinagar (Jammu & Kashmir)<\/strong>, reflecting the scale, diversity, and inclusiveness of the initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBringing together young women from diverse academic, social, and regional backgrounds, the Nari Shakti Youth Parliament<\/strong> created a credible and structured platform for deliberation on issues central to India\u2019s democratic and developmental journey. Across all zones, participants engaged in consultative and parliamentary-style dialogue, demonstrating a strong commitment to democratic values<\/strong>, informed discourse, and Janbhagidari<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA key highlight of the deliberations was the focused discussion on strengthening women\u2019s representation in legislative institutions. The sessions culminated in the adoption of a formal resolution across all 17 zones<\/strong>, collectively endorsing the Constitution (Amendment) Bill, 2026<\/strong>, which proposes to expand the strength of the Lok Sabha from 543 to 816 seats<\/strong>, with 33% reservation for women<\/strong>. The resolution supports the timely implementation of the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, 2023<\/strong>, from the 2029 General Elections, while emphasising the need to delink implementation from delimitation constraints to ensure the immediate and effective realisation of women\u2019s political representation<\/strong>, strengthening the foundations of an inclusive and participatory democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe programmes across zones were graced by distinguished dignitaries and public representatives, who highlighted the growing role of Naari Shakti as leaders and decision-makers in India\u2019s development journey. The Youth Parliament emerged as a powerful platform for young women to articulate their perspectives, build confidence, and contribute meaningfully to national discourse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Complementing this nationwide policy engagement, the Ministry simultaneously organised \u201cSundays on Cycle\u201d<\/strong> across multiple locations, with enthusiastic participation from youth. The initiative promoted environmental consciousness, fitness, and sustainable living, reinforcing the shared commitment towards building a Green and Viksit Bharat<\/strong>. Together, these parallel initiatives presented a holistic model of youth mobilisation, where young women led structured policy discourse <\/strong>and youth at large championed community-driven action<\/strong>, collectively advancing the vision of participatory and inclusive nation-building.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe successful execution of this large-scale, synchronised initiative across 17 zones<\/strong> stands as a testament to MY Bharat\u2019s institutional capacity to mobilise youth at scale and translate national priorities into meaningful grassroots engagement. As India advances towards its vision of Viksit Bharat @2047<\/strong>, the Nari Shakti Youth Parliament underscores the emergence of a generation that is informed, articulate, and action-oriented – where Nari Shakti is not only participating in governance, but actively shaping the nation\u2019s future<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Over 7,000 Young Women Engage in Democratic Dialogue under MY Bharat Resolution Adopted All 17 Zones Across The Nation On Women\u2019s Representation; Initiative Supports Inclusive Democracy And Nation-Building The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, through Mera Yuva Bharat (MY Bharat) platform (mybharat.gov.in), successfully organised a nationwide Nari Shakti Youth Parliament on 12 April 2026, ahead of the Grand Finale of the …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":114537,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[80],"post_format":[],"flags":[],"class_list":["post-114536","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-india-news","tag-india"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114536","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=114536"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114536\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":114538,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114536\/revisions\/114538"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/114537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=114536"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=114536"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=114536"},{"taxonomy":"post_format","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fpost_format&post=114536"},{"taxonomy":"flags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fflags&post=114536"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
