## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF YOUTH AFFAIRS & SPORTS (SHRI ANURAG SINGH THAKUR)

- (a)  Yes,  the  Government  is  implementing  National  Young  Leaders Programme  (NYLP)  since  December,  2014  with  the  objective  to develop  leadership  qualities  among  the  youth  to  enable  them  to realise  their  full  potential  and  in  the  process,  to  contribute  to  the nation-building process. NYLP is one of the sub-schemes under the Rashtriya Yuva Shashaktikaran Karyakram, a Central Sector

Scheme  of  the  Ministry.    The  Programme  aims  at  motivating  the youth to strive for excellence in their respective fields and to bring them  to  the  forefront  of  the  development  process.  It  seeks  to harness the immense youth energy for national-building. At present, various components of NYLP include Neighbourhood Youth Parliament  (NYP),  Youth  for  Development  Programme  (YFDP)  and National Youth Advisory Council (NYAC).

- (b) Under the Neighbourhood Youth Parliament component of the NYLP, funds are released to NYKS Headquarter for further release to  its  District  level  offices  for  conduct  of  programs  all  over  the country. Details of funds  allocated  to  NYKS  and  expenditure incurred from 2014-15 to 2022-23 State/UT-wise is placed at Annexure-1.
- (c) & (d) The number of programmes organized and the number of youth actively participated/involved under NYLP since its inception in Uttar Pradesh is placed at Annexure-2.
- (1) Under the Youth for Development Programme (YFDP), youth are involved  in  Shramdaan  (voluntary  labour)  which  helps  them  to develop their personality and leadership qualities and promote the spirit  of  'dignity  of  labour'  and  channelizes  the  immense  youth energy towards nation building. For instance, Cleanliness activities are a special area of focus as far as activities under this Programme are  concerned.  Department  of  Youth  Affairs  had  taken  up  Clean India campaign on the model of 'Jan Bhagidari to Jan Andolan' with the target of collecting and disposing of waste, mainly Single Use Plastic in the span of one month from 01st to 31st October. In the last  2  years,  total  of  114  Lakh  kgs  and  156  Lakh  kgs  of  plastic waste were collected and disposed.
- (2) Under NYLP, an institutional platform have been created in the form of Neighbourhood Youth Parliaments (NYP), where the youth in the age group of 15-29 years articulate their views on various issues affecting their lives and draw attention of the local administration. Neighbourhood  Youth  Parliaments  provide  a  platform  to  educate youth about contemporary  socio-economic  development  issues

confronting local communities in general and the youths in particular  like  literacy,  consumer  awareness,  community  health, cleanliness, child marriage, environment conservation,  women empowerment, skill development etc. During  the  current  year  (2022-23),    the  year  of  India's  prestigious G20 presidency, the NYKS is conducting 763 Neighbourhood Youth Parliament programmes dovetailing the G-20 theme of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam'  or 'One Earth, One Family, One Future' across the country. The sessions of District Youth Parliament are organized keeping in mind the 5 Themes of Y20 namely (i) Future of Work: Industry 4.0, Innovation  &  21st  Century  skills,  (ii)  Climate  Change  and  Disaster Risk  Reduction:  Making  Sustainability  a  way  of  life  (iii)  Peace building and Reconciliation: Ushering in an era of No War (iv) Shared Future:  Youth in Democracy  and  Governance  and  (v)  Health, Wellbeing & Sports: Agenda for Youth.
