Youth Parliament
PM SHRI Kendriya Vidyalaya Vasant Kunj is committed to providing a diverse range of educational experiences to its students. However, since the school offers education only up to Class 10, it does not participate in the Youth Parliament program, which is typically designed for students in Classes 11 and 12.
Overview of Youth Parliament
The Youth Parliament program is a significant educational initiative aimed at engaging senior students (Classes 11 and 12) in understanding parliamentary processes, democratic principles, and governance. It provides students with a platform to simulate parliamentary procedures, debate national issues, and develop leadership skills.
Program Details
The program involves:
Debates and Discussions: Students engage in structured debates on various issues, simulating parliamentary sessions.
Role Play: Participants assume roles of various parliamentary members, including the Speaker, Ministers, and Opposition Leaders.
Legislative Procedures: Students learn about legislative processes, including the proposal, discussion, and passing of bills.
Public Speaking and Research: The program enhances students’ public speaking, research, and critical thinking skills.
Relevance to PM SHRI Kendriya Vidyalaya Vasant Kunj
Since PM SHRI Kendriya Vidyalaya Vasant Kunj caters to students up to Class 10, the Youth Parliament program is not conducted within the school. The focus for students in these classes includes foundational education, extracurricular activities, and other school-based programs that align with their age group and educational level.
Alternatives for Younger Students
For students in Classes 6 to 10, the school offers various other activities and programs to develop their leadership, communication, and analytical skills. These might include:
Model United Nations (MUN): Simulating United Nations meetings to discuss global issues.
Debate Competitions: Encouraging students to participate in debates on various topics.
Student Council Activities: Providing opportunities for student leadership and involvement in school governance.
Future Opportunities
Students who wish to participate in Youth Parliament or similar programs will have the opportunity to do so in higher educational institutions or other senior secondary schools that offer these programs.
PM SHRI Kendriya Vidyalaya Vasant Kunj acknowledges the importance of programs like the Youth Parliament for senior students. Although this specific program is not applicable for the current student body due to the school’s grade level, the school remains dedicated to offering a comprehensive educational experience through alternative activities that foster the development of essential skills in younger students. As students progress to higher educational levels, they will have opportunities to engage in such programs and further their understanding of democratic processes and governance.
