Mysuru: The Mysuru Chapter of Young Indians (Yi), an initiative of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), will host the Young Indian Parliament (YIP) 2026 – Chapter Round on June 26 and 27 at Hotel Quorum in city, providing a platform for school students to develop leadership skills and gain firsthand experience of democratic processes. 

Addressing media persons, Priyanka Sridhar, Chair of CII-Young Indians, Mysuru Chapter, said that the Young Indian Parliament is a flagship youth leadership programme designed to nurture informed, responsible and socially conscious future leaders. She noted that the initiative enables students to understand the functioning of democracy while encouraging meaningful discussions on issues of public importance.  

Charan, Thalir Vertical Chair, explained that the Chapter Round is open to students of Classes 9, 10, 11 and 12 from schools across Mysuru and neighbouring regions. Participants will engage in a simulated parliamentary setting where they will debate contemporary national issues, deliberate on public policies and present their views through structured discussions.
