The President’s Address is a statement of policy of the Government; it contains a review of the activities and achievements of the Government during the previous year and sets out the policies which it wishes to pursue with regard to important national and international issues. As such, the scope of its discussions is wide as it includes a comprehensive account of national and international issues. During the discussions, several amendments are moved, highlighting different issues and making suggestions for government action. The Discussion of the “Motion of Thanks” is one of the most important discussions in the House. This year, the President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee, addressed members of both the Houses of Parliament assembled together in the Central Hall of Parliament, at the commencement of the first session of the year, on 23 February 2016. The text of the Address is reproduced in this issue of the Journal. The first ever National Conference of Women Legislators on the theme “Women Legislators: Building Resurgent India” was organised, on 5 and 6 March 2016 in New Delhi, at the initiative of the Hon’ble Speaker of Lok Sabha, Smt. Sumitra Mahajan, under the auspices of the Indian Parliamentary Group. The Conference brought together the women members of Parliament and women Legislators from the States to deliberate on matters related to good governance and the inclusive socio-economic development of the nation on a single platform. The Conference was inaugurated by the President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee; the inaugural function was also addressed by the Vice- President of India, Shri Mohammad Hamid Ansari and the Lok Sabha Speaker, Smt. Sumitra Mahajan. The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi who graced the inaugural event also delivered the Valedictory Address. The former President of India, Smt. Pratibha Devisingh Patil also addressed the distinguished gathering at the Valedictory Session. Dr. Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury, Speaker of Bangladesh Parliament and the Chairperson of the Executive Committee of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, also attended the Conference. The deliberations held in the Conference were on the themes ‘Contributing to Social M07 204 The Journal of Parliamentary Information Development’; ‘Contributing to Economic Development’; and ‘Contributing to better Governance and Legislation’. We reproduce the texts of the Addresses by the dignitaries at the Conference and also of the Resolution that was adopted in this issue of the Journal. The 78th Conference of Presiding Officers of Legislative Bodies in India was held at Gandhinagar, Gujarat, on 22 and 23 January 2016. Hon’ble Speaker of Lok Sabha and the Chairperson of the Conference, Smt. Sumitra Mahajan, inaugurated the Conference at the premises of the Gujarat Vidhan Sabha in Gandhinagar on 22 January 2016. Addressing the delegates, Smt. Sumitra Mahajan said that the key functions of a Legislature, amongst other’s are–ensuring Executive accountability, enacting laws and providing finance to the Government by passing the Budget. If forced disruptions happen frequently, it is but natural that public perception towards the Legislature would change. She stressed that the conduct of the legislators must be such as to strengthen public faith in the efficacy of our deliberative institutions. She also emphasized that Members of Parliament and Legislatures have to, on the one hand, address local needs and grievances of their constituents and, on the other, deliberate and speak on various national and international topical issues. She also stated that she has constituted the Speaker’s Research Initiative (SRI) to provide adequate support base to members. The Hon’ble Speaker stressed the need for meaningful and structured debates in Parliament and Legislatures. For this, it is imperative that regular attendance of members is secured and also that adequate numbers of sittings are held in all State Legislatures, she added. We include in this issue of the Journal the text of the inaugural Address by Smt. Sumitra Mahajan. The 23rd Conference of Speakers and Presiding Officers of the Commonwealth (CSPOC) was held at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia, from 9 to 14 January, 2016. The Hon’ble Speaker of Lok Sabha, Smt. Sumitra Mahajan, led the Indian Parliamentary Delegation to the event and presented a paper on the topic “Orientation and Development for Parliamentarians” as Lead Speaker. The 134th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) was held in Lusaka, Zambia, from 19 to 23 March, 2016. Smt. Sumitra Mahajan, Hon’ble Speaker, Lok Sabha, led the Indian Parliamentary Delegation and participating in the Debate on ‘Rejuvenating democracy, giving voice to youth’ said that Youth are the harbingers of change. Greater participation of youth will infuse new vigour and energy into the system. She stated that there are four levels of space that dominate the thinking of the youth, i.e, family, career, lifestyle and friends. There is a need to Jai Mata Di Editorial Note 205 create a fifth space from ‘self to society’ to rejuvenate the democratic system, she emphasised. The South Asian Speakers’ Summit on ‘Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)’ was organized by the IPU in partnership with the ‘Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids’ in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on 30 and 31 January, 2016, where Smt. Sumitra Mahajan, Hon’ble Speaker, Lok Sabha, participated and urged the international community to redouble their commitment for ending poverty and hunger and to set the world on a path to sustainable and inclusive development. We have included brief accounts of the above mentioned Conferences and some other Conferences/Seminars under the feature ‘Parliamentary Events and Activities’. We also carry in this issue the other regular features, viz. Privilege Issues, Procedural Matters, Parliamentary and Constitutional Developments, Documents of Constitutional and Parliamentary Interest, Sessional Review, Recent Literature of Parliamentary Interest and Appendices. In our constant pursuit of making the Journal more enriching and useful, we always look forward to suggestions for its further improvement. We also welcome informative, practice and problem oriented, non- partisan and original articles pertaining to parliamentary procedures and institutions from members of Parliament and State Legislatures, scholars and others interested in the field. Anoop Mishra —Editor Jai Mata Di m12 final 1 ADDRESS BY THE PRESIDENT TO PARLIAMENT The provision for an Address by the Head of State to Parliament goes back to the year 1921 when the Central Legislature was set up for the first time under the Government of India Act, 1919.

    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.
