New Delhi, Jan 10 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the valedictory function of the second National Youth Parliament Festival (NYPF) on Tuesday, an event to hear the voice of youth between 18 and 25 years of age, who are allowed to vote and will join various careers in the coming years, including public services.
Modi will attend the event at 10.30 a.m. via video conferencing.
Three national winners of the festival will also express their views during the event, which is based on the idea given by the Prime Minister in his ‘Mann Ki Baat’ address on December 31, 2017.
Lok Sabha Speaker OM Birla, Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ and Union MoS for Youth Affairs and Sports Kiren Rijiju will also be present on the occasion.
Taking inspiration from the idea, the first NYPF was organised from January 12 to February 27, 2019 with the theme “Be the Voice of New India and Find solutions and Contribute to Policy”.
A total of 88,000 youth participated in the programme.
