National Youth Parliament 2024 by Department of Laws, Himachal Pradesh University: Register by Oct 24

About Himachal Pradesh University

Himachal Pradesh University was established by an Act of the Legislative Assembly of Himachal Pradesh on 22nd July 1970 as a response to the needs and aspirations of the Union Territory, poised for full statehood in the Union of India on 25th January 1971. It is the only multi-faculty residential and affiliating university in the State that provides higher education to urban, rural and tribal areas through formal and distant modes.

About Department of Laws, Himachal Pradesh University

The Faculty of Law came into existence in 1970 when the University was established. Initially, it was housed in D.A.V. School, Middle Bazar. Later on it was shifted to Ava Lodge, Chaura Maidan where it remained functional up to 1983. The Faculty was relocated to the University campus in 1984 and finally shifted to its building in 1993.

About the Opportunity

The law-making bodies are required to discuss various local, national and international issues and then make suitable laws on them. The members of these bodies present all points of view and try to represent all kinds of interests related to a problem. Eventually, there is accommodation of various interests and a compromise decision is taken.

Such decisions are frequently taken by Parliament. Familiarity with the procedure is imperative for effective and purposeful participation in parliamentary debates. The association of young leaders with parliamentary activities is good for the country, but their purposeful participation depends upon their acquaintance with the procedure. Even political parties have felt the need for training and orienting their youth legislators. In light of this development, the scheme of the Youth Parliament should go a long way in equipping future legislators for their role in the country’s parliament and state legislatures.
