  • Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly
    ARUNACHAL PRADESH LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY ORIGIN AND GROWTH With the enactment of the NEFA Panchayat Raj Regulation (No.3 of 1967), the grounding for the Legislative Assembly of Arunachal Pradesh was prepared. This Regulation introduced a three-tier system: Gram Panchayat at the Village level, Anchal Samiti at the Block level and Zilla Parishad at the District level. An apex Advisory Body, known as the Agency Council with the Governor of Assam as its Chairman, came into being on 29th December, 1969. A step further in the direction was taken with the enactment of NEFA (Administration) Supplementary Regulation, 1971 (No. 4 of 1971) which provided for replacement of the Agency Council by Pradesh Council and appointment of five Counselors’, one from each District, who were in charge of various development departments. This Pradesh Council thus came into being on 2nd October, 1972. As a natural outcome, the demand for a Legislative Assembly was pressed in every sitting of the Pradesh Council which made the Union Government to send a study team to assess the standard of Parliamentary acumen attained by the people of Arunachal Pradesh. The Union Government, after studying all aspects of the matter, agreed to the demand of the people for a Legislative Assembly, and on 15 August 1975, the Pradesh Council was converted into the Provisional Legislative Assembly of the Union Territory with all the members of the Pradesh Council becoming members of the Provisional Legislative Assembly and the Councilors being given the rank of Ministers. STRUCTURE OF LEGISLATURE Arunachal Pradesh has unicameral Legislature ever since its inception.

  • Speech of Shri Ashok Gehlot, Chief Minister, Rajasthan
    Speech of Shri Ashok Gehlot, Chief Minister, Rajasthan 50th National Development Council Meeting on 21st December 2002 at New Delhi Hon'ble Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, Central Ministers and Friends, I am happy to participate in this meeting of the National Development Council that has been convened to consider and approve the Tenth Five Year Plan (2002- 2007). 2. A little more than a year ago we had gathered to discuss the Draft Approach Paper to the Tenth Five Year Plan. Now, when the first year of this Plan is nearing its end, we are meeting to approve the Draft Tenth Five Year Plan. However, discussion at this stage would, I presume, serve the purpose of focusing attention not only on the objectives and strategy set out for the Plan but, in the light of the role that has been envisaged for the States, also focus on the ability, or otherwise, of the States to contribute to the success of the same. 3. Every Five Year Plan provides an opportunity of stock taking as well as reorienting the priorities of the Government, Central and State, in the light of the changing environment. It is pertinent, therefore, to discuss briefly what we had sought to achieve in the Ninth Five Year Plan and how far we in Rajasthan have succeeded in achieving the same. 4. The main objectives of the Ninth Five Year Plan was 'growth with equity' and included objectives like generating adequate productive employment, eradicating poverty, ensuring nutrition security to the vulnerable sections, basic minimum services of drinking water, healthcare, containing population growth primary education and shelter, empowering the disadvantaged groups like SCs/STs and OBCs, promoting and developing people's participatory institutions, and, strengthening efforts to build self-reliance.

  • Public Accounts Committee
    PUBLIC ACCOUNTS COMMITTEE Introduction In a parliamentary democracy like ours, the Committee system assumes great importance. Administrative accountability to the legislature becomes the sine qua non of such a parliamentary system. The check that Parliament exercises over the executive stems from the basic principle that Parliament embodies the will of the people and it must, therefore, be able to supervise the manner in which public policy laid down by Parliament is carried out. However, the phenomenal proliferation of governmental activities has made the task of legislatures very complex and diversified. By its very nature, Parliament, as a body cannot have an effective control over the government and the whole gamut of its activities. Administrative accountability to the legislature through Committees has been the hallmark of our political system. The Committee on Public Accounts enjoys the place of pride in our Committee System. Genesis of the Committee The Committee on Public Accounts was first set up in 1921 in the wake of the Montague-Chelmsford Reforms. The Finance Member of the Executive Council used to be the Chairman of the Committee. The Secretariat assistance to the Committee was rendered by the then Finance Department (now the Ministry of Finance). This position continued right up to 1949. During the days of the Interim Government, the then Finance Minister acted as the Chairman of the Committee, and later on, after the attainment of Independence in August, 1947, the Finance Minister became the Chairman. This naturally restricted the free expression of views and criticism of the Executive.
