Raipur. Abujhmadia youth, who came from remote, sensitive and formerly Naxal-affected areas of Narayanpur district, today directly observed the proceedings of the House in the new Vidhan Sabha located in Naya Raipur. By reaching this vibrant temple of democracy, the youth closely understood the legislative functioning of the government and administration and experienced the role of public representatives. On this occasion, Deputy Chief Minister Shri Vijay Sharma and Forest Minister Shri Kedar Kashyap met these youth.

Organized under the Swami Vivekananda Youth Promotion Scheme, this tour involved approximately 147 youth from the Abujhmadia community, a Scheduled Tribe (Specially Backward Tribe), from highly sensitive areas like Kutul, Orchha, Kalmanar, Jharwahi, Kodkanar, Murehnar, Gumiyabeda, Murhanar, and Nednar in Narayanpur. It is noteworthy that most of these youth visited Raipur city for the first time, which was a new and exciting experience for them.
Upon reaching the Assembly, the youth witnessed the question hour, discussions, and decision-making process firsthand, which expanded their understanding and awareness of democracy.
