LARRDIS (L.C.)/2012 he © 2012 Lok Sabha Secretariat, New Delhi TIndian Parliament Editor T. K. Viswanathan Secretary-General Lok Sabha Published under Rule 382 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha (Fourteenth Edition). Lok Sabha Secretariat New Delhi Foreword In the over six decades that our Parliament has served its exalted purpose, it has witnessed India change from a feudally administered colony to a liberal democracy that is today the world's largest and also the most diverse. For not only has it been the country's supreme legislative body it has also ensured that the individual rights of each and every citizen of India remain inviolable. Like the Parliament building itself, power as configured by our Constitution radiates out from this supreme body of people's representatives. The Parliament represents the highest aspirations of the people, their desire to seek for themselves a better life. dignity, social equity and a sense of pride in belonging to a nation, a civilization that has always valued deliberation and contemplation over war and aggression. Democracy. as we understand it, derives its moral strength from the principle of Ahimsa or non-violence. In it is implicit the right of every Indian, rich or poor, mighty or humble, male or female to be heard. The Parliament, as we know, is the highest law making body. It also exercises complete budgetary control as it approves and monitors expenditure.

  • 11 January, 2016 September 22 , 2017
    C XC b 11th January, 2016 September 22nd, 2017 THE HIGHLIGHTS Oil Producers meeting in Vienna ends with no recommendation OPEC and some non-OPEC nations met in Vienna on September 22nd to discuss a possible extension of an oil supply cut deal. However, the meeting ended without a recommendation being made. The Russian Energy Minister who addressed Reuters after the meeting revealed that oil producing countries would wait until January 2018 before deciding whether to extend the output cut beyond March 2018, as oil demand was rising at a high pace. Inflation dips marginally to 16.01% The NBS reported that Nigeria’s inflation declined marginally to 16.01% in August from 16.05% in July. Food inflation which has been the major driver of the upward trend in inflation slipped to 20.25% from 20.28% in July. On the contrary, core inflation inched up to 12.30% in August, from 12.20% for the first time since January. Higher domestic and international air fares led to the increase in core inflation. In the review period, IATA rates were reviewed upwards to N325/$ and later to N359/$. Oil prices steady above $55pb In the first half of September, oil prices have been on the increase. However, on September 8th, prices dipped by 1.03% to $53.78pb following the aftermath of Hurricane Harvery and Irma, which led to the shutdown of US refineries and reduced demand for energy. The outcome of the OPEC meeting on September 22nd ended without recommendation to extend output cuts. 2 US Fed leave rate unchanged at 1.25% The U.S.
