A Glimpse into Democracy: Student-Led Mock Session of Parliament

In our school Shri Datta Vidya Mandir on 26th sept 2023, an exciting and educational  event recently took place—a mock session of the parliament led by our enthusiastic students. It was a day filled with learning, debate, and a deeper understanding of how our democracy functions.

The event began with students assuming roles as members of parliament, complete with parliamentary attire. Each participant was given a chance to represent their constituencies and speak on issues that matter to them.

The topics for discussion ranged from education reform to environmental concerns, giving students a platform to voice their opinions on real-world issues.

The session followed the rules and procedures of a real parliamentary debate, including formal debates, voting, and even a speaker of the house. It was a remarkable simulation of our country’s legislative process.

Students passionately argued for their chosen causes, showcasing their research, persuasive skills, and an understanding of the democratic principles that govern our nation.

What was most impressive was the respect and civility demonstrated during the debates. Students listened to each other’s perspectives, asked insightful questions, and engaged in constructive discussions.

This activity not only promoted a deeper understanding of our political system but also encouraged critical thinking and public speaking skills. It emphasized the importance of dialogue and cooperation in a democracy.

The mock parliament session was an eye-opener for both participants and spectators. It highlighted the power of informed decision-making and the role of youth in shaping the future of our nation.

As the event concluded with a vote on the proposed bills, it was evident that our students had not only learned about the democratic process but had also experienced the responsibility that comes with it.

In the end, the mock session of parliament was not just an activity; it was an opportunity for our students to step into the shoes of our nation’s leaders and experience firsthand the complexities and challenges of democracy. It left us inspired, hopeful, and with a renewed commitment to our democratic values.
