Shalom Presidency School successfully organised the National Youth Parliament 2026 on 6 October 2026 under the theme “Bhartiya Democracy in Action.” Conducted under the National Youth Parliament Scheme of the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs, the programme provided students with a meaningful opportunity to experience parliamentary procedures and gain a deeper understanding of democratic institutions.

Held in the School Auditorium, the programme witnessed the active participation of 53 students from Grades IX–XII, with students from the same grades attending the proceedings as an audience. The young parliamentarians engaged in discussions and deliberations on national issues and contemporary matters of public importance, expressing their views with confidence while demonstrating the importance of respectful and informed dialogue.

A special highlight of the programme was the presence of Respected Sherpa and Vice-Chairman Sir, Mr Dennis George, who joined the session and interacted meaningfully with the young parliamentarians. His interaction with the students encouraged them to reflect on their future responsibilities as citizens, think critically, understand different perspectives and make informed and responsible decisions.

The programme concluded with a Vote of Thanks, followed by the National Anthem, marking the successful culmination of an engaging and enriching Youth Parliament session.

The National Youth Parliament 2026 thus served as a valuable experiential learning platform, empowering students to understand democratic processes while nurturing confidence, leadership, critical thinking and responsible citizenship.
