The Assam Legislative Assembly (ALA) on Tuesday organised the second Youth Immersion Programme of 2025 at the Jwalo Nileshwar Brahma Auditorium of Bodoland University. The theme of this year was “Education, Participation and Experience of Legislative Processes: Be the Future.” BTC chief Pramod Boro said in the inaugural session that the programme is extremely useful for students, especially graduates. He said that in a democratic nation, it is very important to know the functioning and procedures of the Legislative Assembly because in future these youth will lead the country.
Importance of democratic awareness
Pramod Boro also said that most of the ministers of the country are running their departments without having any experience. He said that most of the citizens are unaware of their fundamental rights and duties. In such a situation, this type of programme is extremely important for the youth. He said that Rs 4,850 crore is required for road infrastructure in BTC, but due to lack of resources, the focus was first on peace and stability. Now the focus will be on education, youth entrepreneurship, skill development and infrastructure development.
