Objective

NLC Bharat (National Legislators' Conference Bharat)^[8] is to bring together elected officials from across all States and union territories of India to engage in meaningful discussions and exchange of ideas. This conference provides a platform for roundtable discussions^[9] between legislators on various issues and encourages the sharing of innovative solutions for good governance and strengthening the democratic fabric.

The NLC Bharat serves as a democracy carnival, promoting the ethos of Bharat's democracy to the world. It features workshops, conferences, and seminars that provide a forum for legislators to discuss important democratic and developmental issues. The conference also provides a unique opportunity for lawmakers to interact, debate, and share individual challenges and aspirations, promoting unity and democratic values among them.

The NLC Bharat is an initiative of the MIT School of Government (MIT-SOG),^[10] which was established by Rahul V Karad in 2005 to provide political training to aspiring young politicians. The conference is the result of the planning by former Speakers of the Lok Sabha and incumbent Speakers of State Legislative Assemblies and Chairpersons of State Legislative Councils.

In conclusion, the NLC Bharat provides a space for peer learning and knowledge sharing, and enables lawmakers to come together to promote the democratic values of participation, transparency, good governance, and unity in diversity.
