Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta interacts with DU’s law students
New Delhi, Aug 21 (IANS) Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta on Friday shared insights on Parliamentary procedure while interacting with students of Law Centre-2 at Faculty of Law in University of Delhi, as part of the Youth Outreach Programme.
Speaker Gupta spoke on democratic institutions, the country’s rich legacy of Legislative practices and responded to questions from the students, an official statement said.
Earlier this month, as part of the ongoing weekly Youth Outreach Programme, Gupta hosted two delegations, including participants from the BRICS Chamber of Commerce and Industry Youth Leadership Dialogue 3.0 and student Parliamentarians from Chhatra Sansad in Nagpur.
The interactions expanded the Speaker’s outreach vision, bringing together global youth leaders and domestic student delegates to gain direct insight into democratic governance, Parliamentary traditions, and Legislative functioning.
“During the interaction with the BRICS Chamber of Commerce and Industry Youth Leadership Dialogue 3.0 delegation — comprising promising students, young professionals, researchers, and emerging leaders from India as well as other BRICS and BRICS Plus nations — Speaker Gupta engaged in a wide-ranging discussion on public policy, diplomacy, entrepreneurship, and global cooperation,” a statement said.
Highlighting the global role of youth, Gupta said, “Democracy and good governance are universal values that thrive when young minds from diverse nations engage in cross-border dialogue. Empowering youth with public policy insights and diplomatic understanding is vital for driving sustainable development and global stability.”
The second delegation, comprising students from Chhatra Sansad (DPS Lava in Nagpur), participated in a dedicated orientation designed to foster civic consciousness and understanding of Legislative processes.
The young delegates received first-hand exposure to how bills are debated, laws are enacted, and executive accountability is maintained within a Parliamentary system.
Both delegations were taken on a guided tour of the historic Assembly building — constructed in 1912 and originally housing the Central Legislative Assembly — where key historical events of India’s freedom movement and Legislative evolution unfolded.
The visitors were briefed on the institutional legacy of pioneering Parliamentarians, including Vitthalbhai Patel, and the Assembly’s journey since its re-establishment in 1993.
