Tribal youth attend 17th exchange programme in Delhi Assembly
Nearly 200 tribal youth from some of the country’s most remote districts visited the Delhi Assembly on Wednesday under the 17th Tribal Youth Exchange Programme. On the occasion, Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta urged them to take an active role in India’s democratic and developmental journey.
Addressing the delegation at the Assembly complex, Gupta said that when young citizens engage with living democratic institutions, they do not merely learn about history but become part of the nation’s continuing constitutional journey. “When our youth from every region of the country step forward with confidence, Viksit Bharat moves from vision to reality,” he said.
The programme was organised by My Bharat Kendra, South-West Delhi, in coordination with the Ministry of Home Affairs. Senior officials of MY Bharat were present during the interaction.
The visiting group comprised tribal youth from Bastar, Bijapur, Kanker, Narayanpur, and Mohla-Manpur in Chhattisgarh; West Singhbhum in Jharkhand; Balaghat in Madhya Pradesh; Kandhamal and Kalahandi in Odisha; and Gadchiroli in Maharashtra. The delegation was accompanied by 36 District Youth Officers and other officials associated with the programme. A documentary film titled “Vithalbhai Ki Gaurav Gatha” was screened for the participants.
The delegation was given a guided tour of the Assembly premises and briefed on its historical evolution and constitutional role.
Officials explained how the institution has developed over time and continues to function as a platform for democratic deliberation.
