Jubilee Memorial College (JMC), through its National Service Scheme (NSS) unit in collaboration with MY BHARAT Mokokchung, organised the Viksit Bharat Youth Parliament on October 31 at Aongza Ki under the theme “One Nation, One Election”.
Around 250 students from four higher secondary schools, colleges and MY BHARAT volunteers participated in the programme.
The keynote address was delivered by Dr Amongla, Principal of People’s College, who spoke on the vision of Viksit Bharat Youth Parliament 2027 and the importance of youth participation in democratic processes.
Explaining the proposal for simultaneous Lok Sabha and State Assembly elections, she highlighted its potential to reduce election expenditure and minimise disruptions to governance.
