Snehlata Shrivastava -Editor 1 "NATIONAL LEGISLATORS' CONFERENCE: WE FOR DEVELOPMENT", NEW DELHI, 10 - 11 MARCH 2018. Snehlata Shrivastava Secretary-General, Lok Sabha The National Legislators' Conference on "We for Development" was organised in the Parliament House, New Delhi, from 10 to 11 March 2018, on the initiative of the Hon'ble Speaker, Lok Sabha, Smt. Sumitra Mahajan, under the auspices of Indian Parliamentary Group. The aim of the conference was to bring the legislators across the country under one roof to deliberate the issue of development i.e, themes on the (i) 'Role of Legislators in Development Process', and (ii) 'Optimum Utilization of Resources in Development'. The Conference was also aimed to provide a platform to parliamentarians, MLAs and MLCs to share their experiences, and to develop a perspective on developmental issues in the light of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Conference was divided into five sessions i.e, the (i) Inaugural session; (ii) Plenary session; (iii) Discussion sessions which were organized on 1O March 2018; (iv) Concluding session; and (v) Valedictory session which were held on 11 March 2018. The Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, digitally inaugurated the Conference in the Central Hall, Parliament House on 1O March 2018. The Hon'ble Speaker of the Lok Sabha made the introductory remark. During the inauguration, 'the Hon'ble Prime Minister, thanked the Hon'ble Speaker, Lok Sabha for organizing the Conference and bringing together the Legislators from various States to discuss an important issue like Development. Citing the historical significance of the Central Hall; where the meetings of the Constituent Assembly held by the founding fathers of the Constitution, the Hon'ble Prime Minister said sitting here to take part in a Conference of this nature in itself is an inspiring experience. Describing the constitution as a 'social document', the Prime Minister pointed out the principle of social justice enshrined in the constitution, which is the motivating force for taking development to the length and breadth of the country covering all sections. In his address the Prime Minister said that we need to make our development model more focussed. If we look at the States, it is good 342 The Journal of Parliamentary Information that an atmosphere of competitiveness has been created through cooperative federalism, where the members of Parliament sit together with the legislators and discuss the concern of their areas, the states and the country. Sharing his own experience of engaging with the district level officials from 115 aspirational districts across the country, the Prime Minister emphasized the importance of the elected representatives proactively involving themselves with the development works in their respective areas. Good Governance, Leadership, Coordination and Effective Implementation are thekey concerns, the Prime Minister felt, which needed to be addressed. He believed that people's participation in itself would trigger the process of change towards progress. Observing that people keep a more vigilant eye on their leaders of late, gauging them more seriously and looking up to them for bringing about the desired development, the Prime Minister stated that it is important for the Legislators to deliver, matching the expectations of the people. He also called upon the Legislators to rise above considerations of ideology and politics and work together towards achieving the larger goal of development. He felt that the Legislators need to work wholeheartedly and if the available resources are harnessed in a mission mode, they would prove to be sufficient to address the challenges of development. Demonstrating positivity in thought and approach, the Prime Minister said that using the term 'backward' signified a mental construct which tended to inhibit out of the box thinking. Hon'ble Prime Minister also urged upon the Legislators to be helping hands and facilitators for development which, according to him, could pave the path for achieving social justice. Successful development outcomes, according to him, would encourage further participation which, in turn, would help in giving momentum to the development works themselves. Stressing the importance of learning from success stories of others, the Prime Minister said that in every State there are a few districts where development parameters are strong and positive lessons can be drawn from them for bringing about improvement in the weaker districts. It is essential to identify areas where certain districts need improvement and then address the shortcomings. Hon'ble Prime Minister also said that focussed working on the aspirational districts will help improve India's standing in the Human Development Index, in the short run itself. Lauding the efforts of NITI Aayog in identifying the 'Aspirational Districts' across the country, he said that the officials from the Aayog would be there throughout the Conference giving insights through their presentations and resolving queries of Legislators attending the Conference.

    LOK SABHA ______ SYNOPSIS OF DEBATES (Proceedings other than Questions & Answers) ______ Tuesday, March 17, 2015 / Phalguna 26, 1936 (Saka) ______ CALLING ATTENTION Re: Situation arising due to use of harmful pesticides, especially endosulfan in the country and their adverse impact on human life SHRI P. KARUNAKARAN called the attention of the Minister of Agriculture to the situation arising due to use of harmful pesticides, especially endosulfan in the country and their adverse impact on human life. THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE (DR. SANJEEV BALYAN): Pesticides play an important role in sustaining agricultural production in the country by protecting crops from pests and diseases. Availability of safe and efficacious pesticides and their judicious use by the farming community is critical to a sustained increase in agricultural production and productivity. Pesticides are also useful in health programmes for controlling vectors responsible for diseases like malaria. However, pesticides have toxic properties and need a well ordered system of management and regulation which encompasses all important stages in the life-cycle of pesticides, i.e., from import or production to sale and disposal. The existing legislation for regulation of pesticides is the Insecticides Act, 1968. This Act regulates the import, manufacture, sale, transport, distribution and use of insecticides with a view to prevent risks to human beings or animals, and for matters connected therewith. Pesticides are registered under the provisions of the Insecticides Act, 1968 after a thorough technical evaluation of safety to human animal and environmental health. Pesticides are not likely to cause adverse effect on human health, flora and fauna, provided the usage is in accordance with the manner prescribed in the labels and leaflets approved by the Registration Committee.

Unfree Country-Poetry Founders’ Note Raihan Vadra & Yasharth Goyal Raihan and I are delighted to welcome you all to the 5th National Session of I-Parliament. As we complete our second anniversary this year, the Secretariat is overwhelmed with the response we have received over the years. In the sessions held so far, I-Parliament was able to develop innovative legislative ideas through extensive, vigorous and exciting debate amongst participants. These were then crafted by I-Parliament into weighty Constitutional and Legislative Amendment proposals that have received appreciation from senior policy experts. At the session held in April last year we discussed and drafted a Bill on Electoral Reforms in India. The Bill was duly handed over to Ms.Sushmita Dev, Member of Parliament, Silchar, for her consideration for being moved as a Private Member’s Bill in the Lok Sabha. Not only was the bill duly appreciated by her but also filed in the Legislative Department which amends the Representation of People’s Act. We are in the process of starting several new initiatives including youth Democracy Clubs that aim to strengthen the movement, promoting an educated public which is essential to democratic process. True to our mission of being an inclusive movement, later this year we plan to hold a session of I-Parliament for students who have never had exposure to the MUN/Mock-Parliament experience. We are also planning a joint Session with the Bhutan’s Children Parliament with the aim of building bonds and enhancing friendly relations with them.
