A carefully documented procedural manual of all the main processes managed by an organisation could eliminate the element of surprise and uncertainty which one encounters when inducted into a new organisation or when there is a change of assignment in the same organisation. All organisations, particularly government organisations, are understandably very busy managing the work allocated to them. In the course of this daily grind it is difficult to find time to look at the administration of various processes from the outside or to reflect internally on them. However, if certain critical processes have to be managed well and their quality has to be guaranteed in all situations, irrespective of the personnel entrusted with the tasks, a modicum of documentation is absolutely essential. As a matter of fact, process documentation is the first step in the journey of quality assurance leading to ISO quality certification. The Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs handles several key processes relating to the management of government business in Parliament and issues pertaining to the welfare of Members of Parliament, among others. In the nature of things, these processes entail a zero-defect approach. The Handbook of the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs has been designed with this end in view. The chapters in this book were identified in the context of the work allocated to the Ministry in the Government of India (Allocation of Business) Rules, 1961 (as amended up to 12/1/2004). The broad framework of each chapter comprises explaining the concerned task through a background note, listing out various components of the process and documenting the policy decisions taken from time to time with regard to that process. At the core of these chapters is a set of samples provided as annexes, which will facilitate speedy and efficient implementation of the processes. In most cases, a check list too has been included in order to achieve the objective of zero-defect. The preparation of this Handbook, spread over several months on account of pressure of routine work during the Parliament sessions, has been a journey of introspection and self-discovery for all of us involved in this unique and exciting project. All the officials and xiv staff members associated with the preparation of this Handbook have really looked within and taken time off to look at the processes from the outside in order to document, in the minutest of details, different aspects and dimensions of every process. I would, in particular, like to put on record my deep and abiding appreciation of the wholehearted commitment of Shri K.K. Thakur, Deputy Secretary to the project. Without his faith in the outcome of the project, it would have been a non-starter. He has been by far the key contributor to the text of the Handbook. My thanks are also due to all the other main contributors to the Handbook, namely, Shri Dhani Ram, Deputy Secretary; Smt. Santosh Prabha, Under Secretary; Shri Bhoj Raj, Under Secretary; Shri M. S. Chopra, Under Secretary; Smt. Rewa Rani, Under Secretary; Shri Joseph Zacharias, Section Officer; Smt. Suman Bara, Section Officer; Smt. Manorama Bhardwaj, Hindi Officer; and Shri P. Bepari, UDC. They all did an excellent job of developing the material and providing the inputs, beyond the call of normal duty. In the fitness of things, Shri P. Gopalakrishnan, Joint Secretary, a recent entrant to the family of the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs, put together the chapter on ‘Ushering in a New Lok Sabha’, which was not part of the original scheme of the Handbook. I am also grateful to all other officers and staff members of the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs, who contributed to the preparation of this Handbook in different ways. I am also grateful to the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and the Ministers of State in our Ministry, who have greatly appreciated and encouraged the preparation of this document. I am sure, this Handbook will serve as a beacon light for all those organisations in government which have to manage critical and specific processes within an inviolable time frame. I look forward to receiving valuable suggestions for further improvement of this pioneering initiative. V.K.

The day-to-day working of the system makes large claims on the time and resources of the various administrative departments of the government. Though, at any given time, the Houses of Parliament may be concerned with a single legislative proposal or an issue of Government policy or the performance of a department in charge of an individual minister, the total parliamentary programme, over a period of time, covers numerous intricate issues (financial, legislative and nonlegislative) concerning various Ministries/Departments of the Government. In order that this enormous and diverse parliamentary work may be handled efficiently on behalf of the Government in the Houses of Parliament, it is necessary to have a coordinating agency between Parliament and the Government as a whole. In India, this task is presently assigned to a full-fledged Ministry, known as the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs in charge of a Cabinet Minister. Genesis of the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs Before the Indian Independence Act, 1947 came into operation, the Secretary of the Ministry of Law, who used to be a nominated member of the Legislative Assembly, assisted the Leader of the House in the Central Legislative Assembly. The Legislative Department of the Government of India, inter alia, served as the coordinating agency between the Central

  • 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.

  • Indian-Cabinet-On-Sri-Lankan-Civil-War-Dossier.Pdf
    Rajiv Gandhi’s Cabinet 1987 Minister of Home Affairs: Buta Singh Buta Singh has been associated with the Indian National Congress since the time Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister was in power. He has been a member of Parliament on a number of occasions and is effectively the number 2 in the Government today. Being Home Minister of India, his main priority will be to ensure the internal security of India. Irrespective of what the cabinet decides on Sri Lanka, he has to stive to maintain law and order across India and ensure that the cabinet’s decision doesn’t lead to any uprising. His biggest challenge will be dealing with the southern state of Tamil Nadu. Since the native population of the state and the Sri Lankan separatists share the same background and culture. A lot of people in the state sympathise with the Sri Lankan separatists and therefore any action against them can throw this state up into flames. Maintaining law and order here will be of utmost importance to show the world that India stands united. Minister of External Affairs: P. Shiv Shankar Hailing from the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, Shiv Shankar rose through the ranks of the Congress to become External Affairs minister of India. He will have a key role to play in whatever decision the Indian Cabinet takes regarding the Sri Lankan Civil War. On one hand he will have to prioritize national interests and support whatever is better for the nation’s security. However, he will also have to keep in mind India’s position in the global community and ensure that the Government doesn’t jeopardize relations with any key partners.
