The portal related to Consultative Committee Management System (CCMS) has been envisioned and designed to bring three stakeholders of the Consultative Committees (Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs, Administrative Ministries and Members of Parliament) on the same platform. With the help of this portal, all information/documents of the Committees will be available on real time basis to concerned Member/Ministry thereby ensuring that all are well informed and work is done in a paperless mode and in a speedy manner.

The NYPS Portal 2.0 has been developed by the Ministry so that the number of participation in the portal can be increased exponentially by opening the Portal for all the citizens of the country irrespective of students of recognized educational institutions.

Similarly, the Ministry has also launched a new Scheme of National Youth Parliament Competition for the students of Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRSs). The aims and objectives of the Scheme is to strengthen the roots of democracy, develop tolerance of divergent views,  inculcate healthy habits of discipline and familiarise with the working of Parliament and Parliamentary institutions in the tribal students through organising National Youth Parliament Competitions annually among the EMRSs.

Secretary, MoPA, welcomed Hon'ble Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Sh. Kiren Rijiju and also briefed about the initiatives of the Ministry regarding 100 days based on Vikshit Bharat Vison 2047.
