Launch Event
Parliament Board Game 'Sabha'
Launch event in Delhi
'Sabha' was conceptualised at Justice Adda as a way to create an edutainment tool for young people and citizens to learn more about Parliament, in a fun and interactive manner. The team behind 'Sabha' consists of Lawyers, Graphic Designers, Parliamentary experts, and social scientists. It has been developed over the course of 9 months, through extensive consultations with Parliamentary experts, Game Developers, and civic engagement professionals.
The Indian Parliament is the foremost legislative body of the Republic of India. However, even after over seven decades of Independence, Parliament continues to remain a distant and notional entity for many. There is a dearth of useful resources about Parliament that speak directly to citizens, in particular young people who are the future of our country.
Launch event in Bangalore
Among these outreach events, two game launch events were held at India Habitat Centre in New Delhi on January 14th, 2023 and at the Bangalore International Centre in Bangalore on January 29th, 2023. The participants gained invaluable insights into the working of Indian Parliament, as they immersed themselves in the role of an MP and got the firsthand experience of passing a bill at the highest level of democracy i.e., the Indian Parliament.
Similarly, a game challenge event was hosted for law and political science students at Christ (Deemed to be University) Delhi NCR on January 24th, 2023. Both students and faculty members demonstrated high levels of energy and enthusiam for the game, while competing in groups of 5-6 players.

The launch event in Bangalore was also attended by the former Member of Parliament, Mr. M.V. Rajeev Gowda, who represented Karnataka state and the Indian National Congress party in the upper house (Rajya Sabha) of the Indian Parliament.
As a next step, 100 sets of Parliament Board game will be distributed to selected universities, schools, and other relevant institutions that focus on enhancing the participation and capacity of the youth for better policy-making.
