The study material for both phases of the exam will be available on Pride's website pride.nic.in and Digital Parliament App. The selected students will be taken to Delhi to visit Parliament. It has been launched on the initiative 'Know Your Constitution' launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Under the initiative, the people are to be made aware of the rich democratic traditions of the country, the contribution of great leaders in nation-building, the role of public representatives and the functioning of Parliament.
