National Legislators’ Conference Bharat (NLC Bharat) is an avenue for Members of Legislative Assemblies (MLAs) and Members of Legislative Councils (MLCs) across the nation to gather for the first time ever at one place and exchange ideas in this historic conference. NLC Bharat is taking place in Mumbai from 15th to 18th June 2023. MLAs and MLCs from across the political parties and from all the States and UTs would get a unique opportunity to interact with each other. The conference will be conducted with the objectives of cross-learning and enhancement of legislative effectiveness at its core. The legislators would have experiential learnings and thematic discussions through a mix of thoughtfully curated large-format plenary sessions, brainstorming parallel sessions amongst the legislators, a showcase of States’ and UTs’ pavilions and commendable practices, and extensive informal interactions amongst the legislators, party leaders, Living Icons of Bharat (India) and CSR representatives. Sessions on strengthening democracy with participation of acclaimed national and global leaders would also take place during the conference. The conference would provide a platform to the MLAs and MLCs to creatively showcase the cultural flavour of their region. A platform like NLC is a long due for a thriving democracy like ours, while some other democracies in the world have non-partisan forums for State Legislatures. NLC Bharat would be a true celebration and reflection of democracy and its strength- its elected representatives!
