Agnihotri PREFACE Parliaments, as democratic bodies across countries, make deep impact on societies at all levels. With the expanding frontiers of international affairs, especially in the era of globalization, the role of parliaments in shaping the international discourse on democracy assumes enormous significance. Therefore, parliaments have stepped beyond the traditional jurisdiction of the Executive in assuming a proactive role in international affairs, giving rise to the genre of parliamentary diplomacy. It is widely acknowledged that by using existing global/regional parliamentary organizations and structures, the cause of democracy can be strengthened. The Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), as the world organization of parliaments, is the most appropriate organization for inter-parliamentary cooperation as also for coordinating with other international organizations on behalf of the parliaments. Besides, there are also many other formal parliamentary structures. One of the first was the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA), a parliamentary forum that brings together the parliaments in the countries of the Commonwealth. Both IPU and CPA member countries meet at regular intervals and exchange notes on key issues facing the nations and also the parliaments. The Association of the Secretaries General of Parliaments (ASGP) and the Society of Clerks at-the-Table (SOCATT), which comprise the Secretaries-General of the member countries of IPU and the CPA, respectively, play an important role in articulating the procedural and substantive concerns faced by the member parliaments in their daily functioning, so as to strengthen parliamentary democracy at the global level. The ASGP endeavours to study the law, procedure, practice and working methods of different Parliaments and to propose measures for improving them and for securing cooperation among different parliamentary secretariats. Similarly, the SOCATT attempts to provide a means by which the parliamentary and management practices of the various Parliaments and Legislatures of the Commonwealth could be made more accessible to Clerks- at-the-Table. It also strives to foster among Officers of Parliament a spirit of mutual exchange of experience in the discharge of their duties and responsibilities in order to promote their professional development. The CPA also publishes a journal (The Parliamentarian) containing articles relating to matters of procedure, privilege, constitutional law and management practice pertaining to Parliaments. (i) (ii) At the regional level, the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) inter alia stresses the significance of enhanced people- to-people cooperation and endeavours to promote it through varied means. One significant step in this direction was setting up of the Association of SAARC Speakers and Parliamentarians in 1992. The Charter of the Association endeavours inter alia to promote, coordinate and exchange experience among member Parliaments and to supplement and complement the work of the SAARC and promote knowledge of its principles and activities among parliamentarians. It seeks to provide a forum for exchange of ideas and information in parliamentary practices and procedures and for making suggestions; besides seeking cooperation in international forums on matters of common interest. The ASGP and the SOCATT provide global platforms to articulate the thinking on varied aspects of the functioning of Parliaments and espouse the cause of democracy. These platforms have been creatively used by successive Secretaries-General of Rajya Sabha to present the perspectives concerning India’s Parliament, its practices and procedures and learn from best practices of other parliaments. India, being the largest and one of the most vibrant democracies in the world, commands attention of the international community, especially in the areas of functioning of Parliament. The papers and interventions of Secretaries-General of Rajya Sabha, over the years, on these platforms have been justly acclaimed and referred to by the parliamentary fraternity across the globe. This publication mainly compiles the presentations and interventions made by various Secretaries-General of the Rajya Sabha and their representatives in different meetings and conferences of the ASGP and the SOCATT over the years. Though participation of the Secretary-General of Rajya Sabha in these conferences began much earlier, it was only from the year 2002, through effective and regular participation, that the Secretaries-General made their distinct mark in these inter-parliamentary bodies. Therefore, compilation of papers presented in the conferences of the ASGP and the SOCATT by Secretaries-General of Rajya Sabha includes presentation beginning from the year 2002. The papers presented in these conferences till October 2011 have been put together in this publication. Besides, the presentations on the theme ‘Towards a Paperless Office : Harnessing Information and Communication Technologies in SAARC Parliaments’ and ‘Meeting the

    The Indian Journal of Political Science Vol. IXVII, No. 4, Oct.-Dec., 2006 IDEOLOGY, VIOLENCE AND THE HUMAN RIGHTS MOVEMENT Munmun Jha This paper discusses the most significant issue that has caused severe divisions among the various human rights non-governmental organizations in India, the issue of violence by armed political groups called the Naxalites. The dilemma has deep roots as the attitudes of the rights organizations are shaped by their distinct histories, their ideological positions and practical grassroots realities. The paper argues that a policy of not condemning Naxalite violence by a significant number of rights organizations has severe implications for the rights movement in the country in terms of its autonomy and credibility, and its capacity to be effective. Instead of the cross, the Albatross About my neck was hung. —Samuel Coleridge The Indian Journal of Political Science Vol. LXVII, No. 4, Oct.-Dec., 2006 CHALLENGES TO THE UNITED NATIONS IN THE NEW WORLD ORDER Chaiulrakant Yatnoor It is not surprising that the UN with large number of members has difficulty in responding adequately to the emerging challenges and problems in the 21st century. But it cannot be denied that its response does make a real difference and it may be imperfect but it was not designed to take us to heaven but it would surely save us from another hell. Ultimately, it is a ship sailing in stormy waters. But it is unfair to blame the vessel for the storm (the emerging problems and challenges), which beset it. The UN is trying to cope with the world' problems, and in the last resort, it is the political will of the Member States which will determine our success in.

  • 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.

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.

  • Achievements of 1St Year of 17Th Lok
    1 Hkkjrh; laln PARLIAMENT OF INDIA 2 PREFACE Indian democracy is the largest working democracy in the world. The identity of our pluralistic society, democratic traditions and principles are deeply rooted in our culture. It is in the backdrop of this rich heritage that India had established itself as a democratic republic after its independence from the colonial rule in the preceding century. Parliament of India is the sanctum sanctorum of our democratic system. Being the symbol of our national unity and sovereignty, this august institution represents our diverse society. Our citizens actively participate in the sacred democratic processes through periodic elections and other democratic means. The elected representatives articulate their hopes and aspirations and through legislations, work diligently, for the national interest and welfare of the people. This keeps our democracy alive and vibrant. In fact, people’s faith in our vibrant democratic institutions depends greatly upon the effectiveness with which the proceedings of the House are conducted. The Chair and the Members, through their collective efforts, give voice to the matters of public importance. In fact, the Lower House, Lok Sabha, under the leadership and guidance of the Hon’ble Speaker, is pivotal to the fulfillment of national efforts for development and public welfare. The 17th Lok Sabha was constituted on 25 May 2019 and its first sitting was held on 17 June 2019. The Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, moved the motion for election of Shri Om Birla as the new Speaker of the Lok Sabha on 19 June 2019, which was seconded by Shri Rajnath Singh.

  • India's Parliament and Governing Institutions
    BRIEFING Continental democracies India's parliament and governing institutions SUMMARY India is the biggest democracy in the world. With a population of 1.35 billion in 2018, India was also the world's second most populous country, and is projected to overtake China by 2027. Like the European Union (EU), it is a pluralistic, multi-faith, multilingual (with 22 recognised languages), and multi-ethnic country. Secularism has been enshrined in the Constitution. India's 1950 Constitution provides for a quasi-federal setup: powers are separated between the central union and the 28 state governments. Competences are allocated according to administrative level, between the Union, states or 'concurrently'. The prime minister possesses the country's effective executive power. As 'Leader of the House' in the lower chamber, the prime minister also holds decisive power in deciding the House's agenda. However, the real power of initiating legislation belongs to the government, and the Parliament has no say on foreign affairs. India's Parliament is bicameral: it includes the Lok Sabha – the lower house – and the Rajya Sabha – the upper house. The two houses are equal, but the Lok Sabha dominates in deciding certain financial matters and on the collective responsibility of the Council of Ministers. General elections take place for Lok Sabha members every five years. The last elections took place in May 2019, when Narendra Modi was re-elected as Prime Minister. The Rajva Sabha is a permanent body consisting of members indirectly elected by the states, and it is not subject to dissolution. India has a common law legal system.
