Two Days of Legislative Dialogue
The first day witnessed an intense and high-quality Question Hour, where participants delivered remarkably sharp, data-backed interventions on key governance challenges in Haryana. Discussions brought to the forefront issues such as low female labour force participation, youth unemployment, digital sovereignty, and rural connectivity gaps, while demanding concrete policy action on women's economic empowerment and leadership.
Deliberations further scrutinised shortcomings in digital governance, highlighting inefficiencies in existing schemes and the need for transparency, accountability, and citizen-centric solutions. The session concluded with a balanced, solution-driven consensus, emphasising collaborative approaches to bridge disparities and advance inclusive development.
The second day witnessed sharp, well-informed interventions by participants on bridging the rural digital divide, with a strong emphasis on equitable access to welfare schemes for women. Delegates demonstrated remarkable clarity and analytical depth in identifying structural gaps in digital infrastructure, connectivity, and literacy, particularly in underserved regions.
The deliberations further unpacked barriers in accessing education, healthcare, and financial services through digital platforms, with participants proposing targeted, implementable solutions such as subsidised internet, device accessibility, rural digital hubs, and capacity-building for frontline workers. The session concluded with a strong, solution-oriented consensus on adopting a collaborative, multi-stakeholder approach to ensure inclusive, efficient, and accessible digital governance.
Selected Suggestions by Participants
A District-level Women Panchayati Oversight Committee should be established to monitor and investigate proxy candidature in women-reserved panchayat seats. Headed by the District Collector, the committee should regularly review the functioning of elected women representatives and issue appropriate guidelines to strengthen genuine participation.
Common Service Centres should be set up in village areas to offer skill development and training, along with startup funds and monetary incentives to encourage local entrepreneurship. These centres can also connect locally manufactured products to online markets, ensuring better price realization and reducing transportation costs.
To ensure timely and transparent payment to farmers in Haryana, a strict 7-day DBT system with SMS-based tracking should be enforced, backed by independent monitoring committees at the mandi level to oversee fair and efficient functioning.
Implementation of a centralized device monitoring system to track student learning progress and monitor government-issued tablets and laptops. The government can partner with entertainment and media companies to develop an app with written and digital content for all classes and subjects — keeping all educational content in one platform without distractions.
The government should mandate the representation of women in each factory in certain numbers — unless the physical burden in that work is considered unsuitable for women, keeping in mind physiological differences between men and women.
Valedictory Ceremony
The valedictory ceremony of Haryana Yuva Samvad 2025 marked the dignified culmination of an inspiring journey of dialogue, learning, and youth empowerment. Graced by the Hon'ble Speaker, Haryana Legislative Assembly, the ceremony reflected the spirit and success of the Samvad, with his address urging youth to remain anchored in constitutional values while stepping confidently into leadership roles for the nation's future.
The occasion was further enriched by the presence of Shri Ram Narain Yadav Ji, Shri Gaurav Goyal Ji, Secretary to the Hon'ble Speaker, Shri Mukesh Gupta Ji, Deputy Secretary, and Shri Vishnu Dev Ji, OSD to the Hon'ble Speaker.
The winners were awarded and recognised for their outstanding performances and impactful contributions, as the ceremony concluded with a powerful reminder that informed, inspired, and active youth are central to building a progressive and inclusive India.
