What it is
Not a debate competition. A working Assembly.
The Tamil Nadu Youth Parliament is a full simulation of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, run by young people, for young people. You'll take the oath, elect a Speaker, form a coalition, question Ministers in Question Hour, raise your district's issues in Zero Hour, scrutinise Bills in committee and cast your vote, in Tamil and English. At the end, the House adopts the Tamil Nadu Youth Charter 2027, a set of youth priorities delivered to policymakers.
