Educational Initiative for Constitutional Awareness
The event saw active participation from students across various disciplines who took on the roles of different political leaders and parliamentarians.

Dr. Sangeeta Jain, Director of NMIMS Chandigarh, emphasized the importance of such initiatives in developing responsible citizens. She stated that the Mock Parliament helps students understand the functioning of democratic institutions and appreciate the constitutional values that form the foundation of Indian democracy.
Student Engagement in Democratic Processes
During the simulation, students passionately debated on various contemporary issues, mirroring the actual parliamentary proceedings. The participants demonstrated thorough research and preparation as they discussed matters of national importance, following proper parliamentary protocols and procedures.
The event successfully created awareness about the Indian Constitution and its significance in shaping the nation's governance structure. Students gained practical insights into how laws are made, policies are debated, and decisions are reached through democratic discussions.
Building Future Leaders
This innovative approach to learning allowed participants to develop crucial skills including public speaking, critical thinking, and leadership qualities. The Mock Parliament session served as an excellent platform for students to understand their roles and responsibilities as future citizens of India.
NMIMS Chandigarh continues to focus on holistic education that goes beyond academic curriculum, aiming to create well-rounded individuals who can contribute meaningfully to society.
