  • Constitutional Development in India
    1 Department – Political Science and Human Rights Semester- B.A. 2nd Semester Paper- Indian Government and Politics Note- I do not claim the material provided hereunder as my intellectual property as this is the collection from the writings of different scholars uploaded on websites. I have just collected, edited and arranged articles in one file according to syllabus for the purpose of enriching the students for preparation of their exams during the lockdown period. Students can also use various online sources for better understanding. I expressed my heartfelt thanks to all the authors whose writings have been incorporated in preparing this material. Constitutional Development in India Constitution is the basic principles and laws of a nation, state, or social group that determine the powers and duties of the government and guarantee certain rights to the people in it. It is a written instrument embodying the rules of a political or social organization. It is a method in which a state or society is organized and sovereign power is distributed. A constitution is a set of fundamental principles according to which a state is constituted or governed. The Constitution specifies the basic allocation of power in a State and decides who gets to decide what the laws will be. The Constitution first defines how a Parliament will be organized and empowers the Parliament to decide the laws and policies. The Constitution sets some limitations on the Government as to what extent a Government can impose rules and policies on its citizen. These limits are fundamental in the sense that the Government may never trespass them.

  • No. 17. Parliamentary Committee.Pmd
    PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES The work done by the Parliament in modern times is not only varied in nature, but considerable in volume. The time at its disposal is limited. It cannot, therefore, give close consideration to all the legislative and other matters that come up before it. A good deal of its business is, therefore, transacted in Committees of the House, known as Parliamentary Committees. 2. The origin of Committee system in India can be traced back to the Constitutional Reforms of 1919. The Standing Orders of the Central Legislative Assembly provided for a Committee on Petitions relating to Bills, Select Committee on Amendments of Standing Orders, and Select Committee on Bills. There was also a provision for a Public Accounts Committee and a Joint Committee on a Bill. Apart from Committees of the Legislative Assembly, members of both Houses of the Central Legislature also served on the Standing Advisory Committees attached to various Departments of the Government of India. All these Committees were purely advisory in character and functioned under the control of the Government with the Minister-in-charge of the Department acting as the Chairperson of the Committee. 1 3. A Parliamentary Committee means a Committee which is appointed or elected by the House or nominated by the Speaker and which works under the direction of the Speaker and presents its report to the House or to the Speaker and the Secretariat for which is provided by the Lok Sabha Secretariat. 4. Parliamentary Committees are of two types: Standing Committees and Ad

  • Drug Trafficking in India: a Case for Border Security | 1
    roximity to the largest producers of heroin and hashish-the Golden Triangle IDSA Occasional Paper No. 24 Pand Golden Crescent (Afghanistan-Pakistan-Iran) -has made India's border vulnerable to drug trafficking. Indigenous production of low grade heroin as well as various psychotropic and prescription drugs and their growing demand in the neighbouring countries and international market have added a new dimension to the problem of drug trafficking. Trends and patterns of drug trafficking in the country demonstrate that there is a gradual shift from traditional/natural drugs towards synthetic drugs that are being trafficked. Trafficking of drugs takes place overwhelmingly through land borders followed by sea and air routes. Given the vulnerability of the borders to drug trafficking, India has tried to tackle the problem through the strategy of drug supply and demand reduction, which involves enacting laws, co-operating with voluntary organisations, securing its borders and coasts by increasing surveillance, as well as seeking the active cooperation of its neighbours and the international community. Drug Trafficking Dr Pushpita Das is a Associate Fellow at the IDSA. She holds a Ph.D degree from the Jawahar Lal Nehru University.

  • Legislative Framework to Combat Public Health Emergencies in India
    Legislative Framework to Combat Public Health Emergencies in India In Light of the COVID-19 Pandemic I. Introduction The world is facing an unprecedented situation with the outbreak of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus. The virus has spread to 155 countries around the world, and as per data collected and released by the Johns Hopkins University, there are 198,155 confirmed cases of COVID-19 globally1. India too is faced with the threat of COVID-19. As per the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, 147 people in India have contracted the virus as of 18 March 2020, and the Government of India has declared the outbreak a national “disaster”. In light of this, the biggest challenge before the Government of India right now is to contain the spread of the disease and ensure the health and well-being of its population. To achieve this objective, the Government will first need to rely on existing legislative provisions and frameworks as a means of legally taking all measures necessary to fight the pandemic. Thus, this article seeks to elaborate on and highlight the various legislative provisions that exist to help the Government of India deal with a public health emergency. Before getting into this analysis, it is important to note that India has dealt with public health emergencies before. The most recent national health emergency was during the swine flu pandemic that started in 2009. The outbreak of the H1N1 virus originated in the United States of America and Mexico, and soon spread to India. India had restricted the sale of Tamiflu (the only known drug to work against swine flu) in general medical stores out of a fear that the virus would develop a resistance to the drug if it was used excessively.

  • Concurrent List Subject Which Enables the Central Government to Legislate It in the Manner Suited to It
    India Joint Report on India - Submission by National Coalition for Education and World Vision India For Universal Periodic Review, 13th session, 2012 The Right to Education The Right to Education in India The Indian constitution has provisions to ensure that the state provides education to all its citizens. The Indian constitution in its original enactment defined education as state subject. Under Article 42 of the constitution, an amendment was added in 1976 and education became a concurrent list subject which enables the central government to legislate it in the manner suited to it. Besides India is signatory to a number of international covenants i.e. Jomtien declaration, UNCRC, MDG goals, Dakar declaration SAARC SDG charter for children which is binding on its commitment for making education a reality for all children. Nearly eight years after the Constitution was amended to make education a fundamental right, the government of India from 1st April 2010 implemented the law to provide free and compulsory education to all children in age group of 6-14 years.
