A group of schoolgirls sat in the Gujarat assembly and managed its “functioning” by assuming the role of the chief minister, ministers and legislators in an event organised to mark the National Girl Child Day.
Inaugurating the ‘Tejaswini legislative assembly’, as it was called, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel called upon the girls to take forward the journey of holistic development of the state, a government release said.
In their mock role, the students also organised a question hour during which issues affecting the girl child such as childbirth, education, health, nutrition, safety and security, and leadership development were discussed, said the release.
