It is thought that the elected representatives of the people right from the Grampanchayat level to the parliament carry out procedure to provide legal shape to the people’s issues. The laws enacted for the welfare of the citizens of the country, nation at large and also the world at a larger scale is later formed as rules and regulations for implementation. If these laws enacted by the Legislation assembly and according to the constitutional provisions are violated the judiciary system steps in to take action on its face this democratic system in the country is ideal but the political parties leave no table unturned to exploit and misuse this system and it seems as if autocracy/monarchy is the rule of the land. No doubt, we in an attempt to raise aware citizens have lessons an democratic systems included in the school text books at primary education level and also at the secondary education level but the education system being examination-oriented these lessons are carried no further than text-book material. The further citizens of the nation fail to grasp and carry the lessons to their adulthood. Consequently, educated adult citizens too have little knowledge or awareness regarding the role of Panchayat, legislative assembly and parliament in a democratic regime. It is necessary that citizen has awareness regarding how the democratic system works. Giving votes at the time of the elections is not the only duty of an aware citizen. A citizen also needs to be aware that not only the elected representative but a common citizen also can influence the procedure of the legislative assembly/parliament. Even if the state/nation is on a path of remarkable progress, it is necessary to have discussion and deliberations on all the people-related issues (be they beneficial for the state or otherwise) in the legislative assembly/parliament. It becomes duty of MLAs to fulfill the purpose of their having been elected and sent to legislative assembly/parliament and it is the duty of the citizens to see to it that their elected representatives fulfill their expectations. Does the legislative assembly/parliament fulfill the purpose for which it has been formed? This needs to be examined. Do the elected representatives know or have been trained to understand and participated in legislative assembly/parliament procedure? How many MLAs and ministers have participated or at least have remained present at the Legislative assembly /parliamentary sessions? These issues need to be verified. One needs to verify if the in-house majority of the ruling party members have not been manipulated to act as effectiveness also needs to be examined. Legislative assembly is an efficient platform to discuss the people’s issues and take decision regarding that. This study makes an attempt to examine the transparency and efficiency of the legislative assembly procedure, participation of MLAs and other related issues. This study shall be an attempt to generate awareness among people with a view to make the democracy truly people oriented. We wish to present before people the study of last year’s budget session so that people become third party capable to act as watch dogs of the Legislative assembly activities and elected representatives and make the elected representative answerable to the people. Mahesh Pandya 3 Gujarat Legislative Assembly • The State of Gujarat was formed by bifurcating the Greater Bombay State into Gujarat and Maharashtra on 1st May 1960 by an Act of Parliament called the Bombay Reorganisation Act, 1960. When the State of Gujarat came into being on 1 May 1960, the number of members in the First Gujarat Legislative Assembly was 132. • Thus the initial strength of the Assembly was 132. It was further increased to 154 in 1962, 168 in 1967 and 182 in 1975 with the gradual increase in the population and territorial revision of the Constituencies of the State. However, since 1975 the increase in the strength of the legislature has been stayed by constitutional amendments till 2025. • Out of the present 182 territorial constituencies, 13 constituencies are reserved for Scheduled Castes and 26 constituencies for Scheduled Tribes. • The Gujarat Legislature is unicameral. • Presently, the Twelfth Legislative Assembly consists of 182 members. The term of the Assembly is five years unless dissolved sooner. • There are 19 permanent Committees in the Assembly.
