Mock Parliament

Mock Parliament

Mock Parliament is an educational tool to promote understanding of the working of government in a democracy.

A Mock Parliament was held at The Millennium School, Lucknow. The enthusiastic participation of the students left everyone spell –bound.

Most aspects related with the functioning of parliament were covered during the mock session. It had both the ruling and the opposition parties at the right and left sides, respectively. The aspiring leaders presented their views on the steps to be taken for the security of women, nation-wide water crisis, VIP privileges which cause discomfort to the common people and how to work towards creating a developed India.

The House started by paying tribute to Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. This was followed by the Question Hour, which was the most interesting session. It was amazing to see the opposition leaders asking carifications on various issues. The Zero Hour , where some sensitive issues like Lalit Modi Scam, Kashmir or Kashmiris, were discussed. Voting on bills was another highlight of the show.

The students, as parliamentarians, exhibited their knowledge about the benefits and concerns pertaining to trivial issues, through debating skills and witty couplets, with great knowledge and zeal.

Dr. Manjula Goswami, the Principal of the school, congratulated the participants for their brilliant performance and appreciated their knowledge and understanding of the working of the  Parliament.

 She also stated that the mock session was very well organized , paying special attention to the Opposition's role which is very important in a democracy like ours. She further reiterated that the school regularly gives platform to the students enriching their knowledge of the issues beyond books, to improve their oratory and problem solving skills alongwith high order thinking skills.
