Kerala’s Future Leaders Take Center Stage in Children’s Parliament
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, Dec 30, 2025 – The Kudumbashree Mission orchestrated a vibrant “Children’s Parliament” at the historic Old Legislative Assembly building today, providing a platform for student representatives from all 14 districts of Kerala to engage with the principles of governance and parliamentary procedure.
Young participants stepped into the roles of key political figures, including the Prime Minister, Speaker, and various Ministers, to debate pressing issues. Cybercrime took center stage, with an adjournment motion highlighting the growing vulnerability of ordinary citizens to financial fraud and the devastating impact of deceptive videos.
The assembly also paid respects with condolence motions for the late Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan and celebrated actor-screenwriter Sreenivasan. Discussions further encompassed critical societal concerns such as inadequate healthcare and sanitation, educational challenges faced by coastal and Adivasi communities, rising student dropout rates, and gender inequality in the workforce.
Sithara Parveen, a participant from Malappuram, expressed her enthusiasm for the event, noting a preference for the more immersive district-level Parliaments that allowed for greater interaction and personal development. The day concluded with a tour of the Legislative Assembly, offering the young parliamentarians a firsthand glimpse into the workings of the state’s legislative body.
