To address the significant gap in youth representation, Hanan Ali Abbasi envisioned a platform where young people could gather, learn, and engage in a structured, mock parliamentary environment. This vision led to the creation of the National Youth Assembly (NYA), a youth-led, nation-wide model parliament that has since become a cornerstone for youth empowerment in Pakistan. Hanan Abbasi is widely credited for pioneering this initiative, which has grown into a well-recognized institution designed to nurture and develop the talents and ambitions of the nation’s youth.

The National Youth Assembly is not just a forum; it’s a comprehensive platform that offers young individuals opportunities for learning and growth through parliamentary sessions, debates, seminars, motivational activities, humanitarian work, and awareness campaigns. It also facilitates direct interaction between youth and influential decision-makers, allowing young voices to be heard at the highest levels of governance. Operating under License No. 690, awarded by the relevant government commission, the NYA is now a recognized national platform for youth, functioning as a philanthropic alliance and think tank.

With its strong network spanning federal, provincial, district, university, and tehsil levels, the NYA has attracted over thirty thousand members, youth councilors, and volunteers. These individuals actively participate in the Assembly’s programs, contributing to a movement that aims to unlock the potential of young leaders and discover unsung heroes across Pakistan. Under Hanan Ali Abbasi’s tireless efforts, the NYA continues to inspire, educate, and mobilize the youth, making it a driving force for positive change and national development.
