Mumbai will host the first-of-its-kind National Legislators’ Conference Bharat (NLC Bharat), which provides an avenue for the MLAs and MLCs across the country to exchange development and welfare ideas, putting aside their respective ideological differences. Some 2,500 legislators and presiding officers have registered so far for the three-day event to be held between June 15 and 17 at Jio World Convention Centre.

The former speakers of Lok Sabha and current speakers of the legislative assemblies have come together to build this conference, said Rahul Karad, the man behind the project who has been holding the annual event of the nationwide youth parliament through his institute MIT School of Government and Bharatiya Chhatra Sansad. Other than Karad’s initiative, the legislatures of participant states, including Maharashtra, will share the responsibility, be it resources or infrastructure.
