SRINAGAR: The Department of Social Welfare, SANKALP- Hub for Empowerment of Women- Mission Shakti Srinagar in collaboration with Amar Singh College Srinagar organized Youth Parliament under Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP).

The "Youth Parliament" aims to simulate legislative bodies, often in schools/colleges, where young people role-play as MPs to learn about democracy, debate issues, and propose policies, fostering leadership, civic sense, and public speaking.

The event was organized with an objective to develop leadership, civic awareness, democratic understanding, public speaking, and tolerance among the students to make them capable of understanding complex public issues and contributing positively to society.

The Students of Amar Singh College played various roles in the “Youth Parliament” and acted as Prime Minister, Ministers and MP’s debating bills and resolutions. One batch of students was acting as the ruling party and another was acting as the opposition party. This provided a dynamic platform to students to engage in parliamentary style debates, discussions, and decision making for betterment of society.

The event witnessed the presence of Chief Planning Officer Srinagar, Fayaz Ahmad Dar; District Social Welfare Officer Srinagar, Dr. Mukhtar Ahmad; Principal Amar Singh College Srinagar, Prof Aijaz Ahmad Hakak and the officials from SANKALP-Hub for Empowerment of Women Mission Shakti Srinagar, Faculty members and students of Amar Singh College Srinagar.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
