These elections determine the composition of the Government, the membership of the two houses of parliament, the state and union territory legislative assemblies, and the Presidency and vice-presidency. Elections are conducted according to the constitutional provisions, supplemented by laws made by Parliament. The major laws are Representation of the People Act, 1950, which mainly deals with the preparation and revision of electoral rolls, the Representation of the People Act, 1951 which deals, in detail, with all aspects of conduct of elections and post election disputes. 43.2 The Election Commission of India is an autonomous, quasi-judiciary constitutional body of India. Its mission is to conduct free and fair elections in India. It was established on 25 January, 1950 under Article 324 of the Constitution of India. Since establishment of Election Commission of India, free and fair elections have been held at regular intervals as per the principles enshrined in the Constitution, Electoral Laws and System. The Constitution of India has vested in the Election Commission of India the superintendence, direction and control of the entire process for conduct of elections to Parliament and Legislature of every State and to the offices of President and Vice- President of India.

    265 Statutory Resolution seeking [30 JULY 1992] Trade (Development and 26( disapproval oj the Foreign Regulation) Ordinance 1992 port what is needed in the foreign markets. Hence, there is no marked-oriented production. To this end in view, the Bill is silent.

Therefore, I do not FOREIGN TRADE (DEVELOPMENT support the Bill as there are no provisions in it AND REGULATION) BILL, 1992— for the development of exports. Thank Contd. you. DR. NAUNIHAL SINGH (Uttar Pradesh); Since, technology, investment and production are inter-dependent, will the hon. Minister assure that this Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Bill, 1992 would be able to bring about these elements together and spur the ', economic growth further? He has ponted out that the Import and Export Control Act, 1947 was made under different circumstances. Although it has been amended from time to time, the Act does not provide an adequate legal framework for the development and promotion of India's foreign trade. Besides, in July 1991 and August 1991, major changes in trade policy were made by policy were made by the Government, But these were not comprehensive measures. The goal of the new trade policy should be to increase productivity and competifivertees to achieve a strong export performance. However, the prominent missing elements in the Bill are; (1) The provision of conducting wholesome international marketing surveys in target markets by professionals.
