## (SHRI SARBANANDA SONOWAL)

(a) to (e)   Yes Madam.  The National Youth Policy, 2014 lays a lot of emphasis on actively involving the youth in the decision-making process. In fact, 'Youth Engagement'  is  one  of  the  key  priority  areas  of  the  Policy.  The  Policy recommends  that  the  Government  should  create  a  structured  platform  for engagement with the youth across the country. The Policy recommends that a Youth Advisory Council should be set up to obtain detailed inputs on key policy issues  and  engage  more  regularly  with  diverse  segments  of  the  youth.  The Policy also states that the Government should also engage with representative cross-sections of youth to get inputs on specific policy issues which could be through  conducting  thematic  workshops,  putting  out  calls  for  policy  notes through ICT-based channels, etc. The Policy calls upon all concerned Ministries to set up 'Youth Connect' programmes as a targeted youth outreach programme.

The Government  has adopted youth-led development strategy. The Government firmly holds the view that the Youth should be active drivers and not just passive recipients of the development process. Different Ministries have evolved different strategies to involve youth in decision-making process. A key initiative is the MyGov.in Platform though which different Ministries/ Departments consult citizens on important governance issues. The Department of Youth Affairs has also created a Group titled 'Youth for Nation-building' on MyGov.in  platform  through  which  the  Department  engages  with  the  youth  on various  issues  from  time  to  time.  The  Department  of  Youth  Affairs  has  also introduced a 'Neighbourhood Youth Parliament' Programme through which the youth are engaged in discussions/ debate on contemporary issues of significance to the community in general and youth in particular, to make them part of the governance process.
