Indian Parliament: Essay on Indian Parliament!

The Parliament of the Indian Union consists of two Houses: the Rajya Sabha (Council of States) and the Lok Sabha (House of the People).

These two houses and the President together constitute the Parliament of India. The object behind the creation of the Rajya Sabha is to provide for a second chamber so that legislation passed by one House can be reviewed and altered if needed by the other.

Rajya Sabha is a continuing chamber as it is a permanent body not subject to dissolution. One-third of its members retire at the end of every two years and elections are held for the vacant positions. A member of Rajya Sabha has a six year term, unless he resigns or is disqualified.

Lok Sabha is the lower or the popular chamber of the Indian Parliament. Under the Constitution not more than 525 members are to be chosen by direct election from territorial constituencies in the States and not more than 20 members to represent the Union Territories. In addition, two members of the Anglo-Indian community may be nominated by the President if he is of the opinion that the community is not adequately represented in the Lok Sabha.

The President has the right to summon, prorogue and dissolve the Parliament. The power to dissolve and to prorogue is exercised by the President on the advice of his Council of Ministers. The dissolution brings the life of Lok Sabha to an end while prorogation merely terminates a session. Adjournment does not put an end to the existence of a session but merely postpones further transaction of business for a specified time, whereas prorogation puts an end to all business except Pending Bills.

Each house of Parliament has its own presiding officers. Lok Sabha has a Speaker as its principal presiding officer and a Deputy Speaker to assist him and officiate as presiding officer in his absence. The Rajya Sabha is presided over by the Chairperson, assisted by a Deputy Chairperson. The latter performs all the duties and functions of the former in case of his/her absence.

The Speaker of the Lok Sabha enjoys very wide and extensive powers. The Speaker presides over the sitting of the Lok Sabha and conducts the proceedings, maintains order and decorum in the House and decides points of order, interprets and applies rules of the House.

The Speaker represents the whole House and it is on his impartiality that the success of parliamentary polity depends. Whenever the Speaker is absent, the Deputy Speaker presides over the deliberations of the House and exercise all the powers of the Speaker under the Rules of Procedure.

The Vice-President of India is the ex-officio Chairperson of the Council of States; but during any period when the Vice-President acts as President or discharges the functions of the President, he does not perform the duties of the office of the Chieftain of the Council of States. The Chairperson of the Rajya Sabha is assisted by a Deputy Chairperson chosen from the Council of States from amongst its members.

Powers and Functions of the Parliament:

Under the cabinet system of government, the first function of Parliament is to select the group which will form the government, support, and sustain it in power as long as it enjoys its confidence. The second function of the Parliament is to make laws for the country. The third function of Parliament is to control the purse of the nation. The fourth function of Parliament is the scrutiny and control of administration.

The fifth function of Parliament is to serve as a kind of Constituent Assembly when necessary to amend the Constitution through the procedure laid down for the purpose. The sixth function of Parliament is to serve as an electoral college to elect the President and the Vice-President.

Privileges and Immunities of Parliament and Its Members:

Both the Houses of Parliament as well as of a State Legislature have similar privileges under the Constitution. The privileges of each House may be divided into two groups: (i) those enjoyed by the members individually and (ii) those which belong to each House of Parliament as a collective body.

Privileges of Individual Members:

(i) freedom from arrest:.

Section 135A of the C.P. code, as amended by Act 104 of 1976 exempts a member from arrest during the continuance of a meeting of the Chamber or Committee of which he is a member or of a joint sitting of the Chambers or Committee, and during a period of 40 days before and after such meeting or sitting, in civil or original cases.

This privilege also means that no member can be arrested within the precincts of the Parliament without the permission of the House to which he belongs. A member can be arrested outside the walls of the House on cases under Preventive Detention or Maintenance of Internal Security or any other such Act.

It is, how­ever, the duty of the arresting officer that he should immediately inform the presiding officer of the House to with the member belongs about arrest, bail or release of the member concerned. The main idea behind this privilege is that the members of the House should not be unnecessarily detained by the executive government and the constituents are not denied proper representation.

(ii) Freedom of Attendance as Witnesses:

According the English practice, a member cannot be summoned, without the leave of the House, to give evidence as a witness while Parliament is in session.

(iii) Freedom of Speech:

While an ordinary citizen’s right of speech is subject to the restrictions specified in Art. 19 (2) such as the law relating to defamation, a member of Parliament cannot be made liable in any court of law in respect of anything said in Parliament or any Committee thereof.

The freedom of speech is, however, subject to the rules framed by the House under its powers to regulate its internal procedure. The dignity of the House must be preserved. The Constitution itself imposes another limitation upon the freedom of speech in Parliament, namely, that no discussion shall take place in Parliament with respect to the conduct of any judge of the Supreme Court or a High Court in the discharge of his duties except upon a motion for presenting an address to the President praying for the removal of the judge.

Collective Privileges :

Previleges are certain rights belonging to each House of Parliament. Both the House of Parliament as well as of a state legislature have similar previleges under the Constitution of India. Clauses (1) (2) of Article 105 deal with two matters, viz., freedom of speech and right of publicaiton.

(i) The right to publish debates and proceedings and the right to restrain publication by others.

(ii) The right to exclude others.

(iii) The right to regulate the internal affairs of the House, and to decide matters arising within its walls.

(iv) The right to punish Parliamentary misbehavior.

(v) The right to punish members and outsiders for breach of its privileges.

Parliamentary Committees :

As a deliberative body, Parliament cannot cope with detailed serious work amidst a large number of members in a dispassionate manner. Specially in modern times, there is too much of a burden on the Parliament. Thus the committee system comes in useful for it enables detailed discussion of various matters in small groups something that is cumbersome and non-productive in a large group.

The committees make parliamentary work smooth, efficient and expeditious. They also provide a certain expertise to the deliberations of Parliament. It must, however, be noted that committees are subordinate bodies created by Parliament to assist in its legislative work.

Nature of Parliamentary Committees :

A parliamentary committee is 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.

Parliamentary committees are of different types. Broadly speaking there are (1) Ad Hoc Committees, and (2) Standing or Non-Ad Hoc Committees. Ad Hoc Committees may be constituted from time to time, by either House, to inquire into and report on specific subjects, or they may be committees set up to advise the House, such as those appointed to consider and report on a specific Bill. The Standing Committees may be classified according to their functions. The Committees may also be classified in the following manner.

1. There are consultative committees for different ministries which provide a forum for discussion on the policies and working of the ministries.

2. There are the select committees or joint select committees on individual bills for investigation or inquiry.

3. Sometimes, the Parliament may appoint a committee for a specific purpose or to study a particular question like the Committee for the Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Tribes.

4. There are committees to enquire into various matters like the Committee of Petitions and Committee of Privileges. The committees to scrutinise are the Committee of Government Assurances and Committee on Subordinate Legislation.

5. Some committees are of administrative character relating to business of the House like (a) Committee on Absence of Members from the sittings of the House, (b) Business Advisory Committee, and (c) Rules Committee.

6. A few committees are concerned with the facilities of members of Parliament like the House Committee and Library Committee.

7. Finally, the most important committees are the three financial committees (a) the Estimates Committee, (b) the Public Accounts Committee, and (c) the Committee on Public Undertak­ings.

The Ad Hoc Committees:

The usual ad hoc committees are Select/Joint Committees on Bills and the Railway Convention Committee. The Committee on the Draft Five Year Plans, Committee on the Conduct of a member, Study Committee on Sports etc,. are some of the ad hoc committees constituted in the past.

Select Committees:

Select Committees are appointed on individual Bills and for making some investigation, inquiry or compilation. Members of a Select Committee are appointed or elected by the House itself or nominated by the Speaker. The willingness of the members desired to serve on the committee is ascertained before a proposal for appointment or nomination is made.

The Chairman is appointed by the Speaker from among its members, but if the Deputy Speaker happens to be a member of the committee, he shall be appointed Chairman. One-third of the total membership consti­tutes the quorum and a majority vote determines the decision of a committee. The chairman is entitled to a casting vote in case of a tie.

Joint Committee:

In order to avoid duplication of proceedings a Bill may be referred to a Joint Committee composed of members of both Houses. A Joint Committee also saves time and helps to bring about and develop good understanding, an appreciative spirit and co-operation between the representatives of both the Houses.

A motion for the appointment of a joint commit and reference of a Bill to such a committee after being carried out in the originating House is transmitted to the other House for its concurrence. The member-in-charge of a Bill indicates the number and names of the members constituting the committee from the House to which he belongs as also the number of the members from the other House. The proportion of members from the House of the People and the Council of States is two to one.

The Standing Committees:

Lok Sabha has the following 18 Standing Parliamentary Committees with membership indicated against each. Business Advisory Committee (15); Committee of Privileges (15); committee on absence of Members from the Sitting of the House (15); Committee on Estimates (30); Committee on Government Assurances (15); Committee on Paper Laid on the Table (15); Committee on Petitions (15); Committee on Private Members’ Bills and Resolutions (15); Committee on Public Account (22); Committee on Public Undertakings (22); Committee on Subordinate Legislation (15); Committee on the Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (30); General Purpose Committee (29); House Committee (12); Joint Committee on Offices of Profit (15); Joint Committee on Salaries and Allowances of Members of Parliament (15); Library Committee (9); Rules Committee (15).

No member is to be appointed or nominated or elected to a Committee unless he is willing to serve on it.

The Speaker, Lok Sabha, nominates members to Business Advisory Committee, Committee of Privileges, Committee on Absence of Members from the Sitting of the House, Committee on Govern­ment Assurances, Committee on Papers Laid on the Table, Committee on Petitions, Committee on Private Members’ Bills and Resolutions, Committee on Subordinate Legislation, General Purpose Committee, House Committee and Rules Committee in pursuance of the provisions of rules govern­ing these Committees.

Ten members of Lok Sabha and five members of Rajya Sabha are nominated by the Speaker, Lok Sabha, and the Chairman, Rajya Sabha, respectively, to the Joint Committee on Salaries and Allowances of Members of Parliament.

As far as possible, different Parties and Groups are represented on a committee in proportion of their respective strength in the House. As such a Committee is a microcosm of the whole House.

Members of Rajya Sabha are also associated with the Committee on Public Accounts, Committee on Public Undertakings and Committee on the Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, for which necessary Motions are moved in and adopted by both the Houses. The Joint Committee on Offices of Profit consists of 15 members-10 elected from Lok Sabha and five elected from Rajya Sabha. It is constituted in pursuance of a motion moved in and adopted by both the Houses. It continues in office for the duration of a Lok Sabha.

Casual vacancies in a Parliament Committee are filled by appointment or election by the House on a motion made, or nomination by the Speaker, as the case may be and any member appointed, elected or nominated to fill such vacancy shall hold office for the unexpired portion of the term for which the member in whose place he is appointed, elected or nominated would have held office.

A member may resign from the Committee by writing under his hand addressed to the Speaker.

If a member remains absent from two or more consecutive sittings of the Committee without the permission of the Chairman of the Committee, he may be discharged from the Committee by the House Speaker.

The Chairmen of all the Parliamentary Committees are appointed by the Speaker, from amongst the members of the Committee. In case, the Speaker is a member of the Committee, he is ex officio Chairman of that Committee. In Gase the Speaker is not a member of the Committee, but the Deputy Speaker is, he is appointed as Chairman of that Committee.

The Joint Committee on Salaries and Allowances of Members of Parliament elects its own Chairman. In case of the Committee on Public Accounts, as per established convention a member belonging to major Opposition Parties/Groups is appointed Chairman of the Committee by rotation.

Parliamentary Committees hold office for a period of one year or for a period specified by the Speaker/by the motion or until a new Committee is nominated. The members nominated to the Joint Committee on Salaries and Allowances of Members of Parliament, hold office for a period of one year from the date of their nominations.

One-third of the total number of members of the Committee is required for the quorum to consti­tute a sitting of the Committee. In the absence of the required quorum, the Chairman either suspends the sitting until there is quorum or adjourns the sitting to some future day. In the event of a Committee being adjourned for-two successive sittings on account of lack of quorum, the Chairman has to report the fact to the Speaker when the Committee has been appointed by him or else to the House.

Estimates Committee:

The Estimates Committee consists of 30 members—all from Lok Sabha— who are elected by Lok Sabha every year from among its members according to the principle of proportional representation by means of single transferable vote. This system of election ensures that each Party/Group is represented on the Committee in proportion to its strength in Lok Sabha.

The Chairman of the Committee is appointed by the Speaker from amongst the member of Lok Sabha elected to the Committee.

The functions of the Committee are—(a) to report what economies, improvements in organisation, efficiency or administrative reform, consistent with the policy underlying the estimates, may be effected; (b) to suggest alternative policies in order to bring about efficiency and economy in administration; (c) to examine whether the money is well laid out within the limits of the policy implied in the estimates; and (d) to suggest the form in which estimates shall be presented to Parliament.

The Committee may examine such of the estimates as may deem fit to the Committee or are specifically referred to it by the House or the Speaker. Public Undertakings allotted to the Committee on Public Undertakings either under the Rules of Procedure of Lok Sabha or by the Speaker are outside the purview of the Estimates Committee.

The Committee does not go against the policy approved by Parliament; but where it is established on evidence that a particular policy is not leading to the expected or desired results or is leading to waste, it is the duty of the Committee to bring to the notice of the House that a change in policy is called for.

The examination by the Committee of the estimates for the Ministries/Departments of Government is a continuing exercise throughout the financial year and the Committee reports to the House as its examination proceeds. It is not incumbent on the Committee to examine the entire estimates in any one year. The Demands for Grants may be finally voted even though the Committee has made no report.

Public Accounts Committee:

The Public Accounts Committee consists of 15 Members elected by Lok Sabha every year from amongst its members according to the principle of proportional repre­sentation by means of single transferable vote. Seven members of Rajya Sabha elected by the House in like manner are associated with the Committee. This system of election ensures that each Party/ Group is represented on the Committee in proportion to its respective strength in the two Houses.

The chairman of the committee is appointed by the Speaker from amongst the members of Lok Sabha elected to the Committee.

The term of office of the members of the Committee is one year.

The Public Accounts Committee examines the accounts showing the appropriation of the sums granted by Parliament to meet the expenditure of the Government of India, the annual Finance Accounts of the Government of India and such other accounts laid before the House as the Commit­tee may think fit.

Apart from the Reports of the Comptroller and Auditor-General of India on Appro­priation Accounts of the Union Government, the Committee examines two Reports of the Comptrol­ler and Auditor-General on Revenue Receipts—one relating to Direct Taxes and the other relating to Indirect Taxes.

The Committee, however, does not examine the accounts relating to such public undertakings as are allotted to the Committee on Public Undertakings.

While scrutinising the Appropriation accounts of the Government of India and the Reports of the Comptroller and Auditor-General thereon, it is the duty of the Committee to satisfy itself that the moneys shown in the accounts as having been disbursed were legally available for, and applicable to, the service or purpose to which they have been applied or charged; that the expenditure conforms to the authority which governs it; and that every re-appropriation has been made in accordance with the provisions made in this behalf under rules framed by competent authority.

An important function of the Committee is to ascertain that money granted by the Parliament has been spent by Government “within the scope of the demand”. The function of the Committee extends “beyond the formality of expenditure to its wisdom, faithfulness and economy”. The Committee thus examines cases involving losses, nugatory expenditure and financial irregularities.

While scrutinising the Reports of Comptroller and Auditor-General on Revenue Reports, the Committee examines various aspects of Government’s tax administration. The Committee, thus, examines cases involving under-assessments, tax-evasion, non-levy of duties, misclassifications etc., identifies loopholes in the taxation laws and procedures and makes recommendations in order to check leakage of revenue.

If any money has been spent on a service in excess of the amount granted by the House for the purpose, the Committee examines the same with reference to the Facts of each case, the circum­stances leading to such an excess, and makes such recommendations as it may deem fit.

Such excesses are thereafter required to be brought up before the House by Government for regularisation in the manner envisaged in Article 115 of the Constitution. In order to facilitate speedy regularisation of such expenditure by Parliament, the Committee presents a consolidated report relating to all Ministries/Departments expeditiously in advance of other reports.

Committee on Public Undertakings:

The Committee on Public Undertakings consists of 15 members elected by Lok Sabha every year from amongst its members according to the principles of proportional representation by means of single transferable vote. Seven members of Rajya Sahba elected by that House in like manner are associated with the Committee. This system of election ensures that each party/group is represented on the Committee in proportion with respective strength of the Houses.

The Chairman of the Committee is appointed by the Speaker from amongst members of Lok Sabha elected to the Committee. The term of office of the members of the Committee is one year.

The functions of the Committee are to examine the Reports and Accounts of the Public Under­takings specified in the Fourth Schedule of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha and the reports of the Comptroller and Auditor-General thereon, if any, and to examine, in the context of the autonomy and efficiency of the public undertakings, whether the affairs of the Public undertakings are being managed in accordance with the sound business principles and prudent commercial practices.

The Committee may also examine such subjects or matters which may be specifically referred to it by the House or by the Speaker. The Committee is, however, barred from examining and investigating matters of major Government policy as distinct from business or com­mercial functions of public undertakings or matters for the consideration of which machinery is established by any special statute under which a particular undertaking is established.

Committee on the Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes:

The Committee consists of 20 members elected by Lok Sabha every year from amongst its members according to the principle of Proportional representation by means of single transferable vote. Ten members of Rajya Sabha elected by that House in like manner are associated with the Committee.

This system of election ensures that each Party/Group is represented on the Committee in proportion to its respective strength in the two Houses.

The Chairman of the Committee is appointed by the Speaker from amongst the members of Lok Sabha elected to the Committee.

The important functions of the Committee inter alia are to consider the reports submitted by the Commissioner of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, to examine the representation of Sched­uled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in services of Central Government Departments, Central Public Undertakings, Nationalised Banks etc., and to review the working of welfare programmes for Sched­uled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the Union Territories.

The Committee also examines such other matters as may deem fit to the Committee or are specifically referred to it by the House or the Speaker. The Committee can also examine the implementation of various programmes for the wel­fare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes by State Governments provided funds are made available partly or wholly by the Central Government.

Business Advisory Committee:

As the membership of the Committee is limited and there are quite a large number of Opposition groups, it is not possible for the Speaker to nominate members from each and every group. Normally this committee meets three or four times in a session and makes recommendations regarding the plan of House’s work, which are generally accepted by the House.

However, in order to make the Committee as broad-based as possible certain prominent unattached members and members of some of the Opposition groups, who do not find representation in the Committee, are invited by the Speaker to attend its sitting. The invited members have neither the right to vote nor are they counted for the purpose of a quorum.

The function of the Business Advisory Committee is to recommend the time that should be allocated for discussion of the stage or stages of such Government Bills or other business which the Speaker in consultation with the Leader of the House may direct to be referred to the Committee. The Committee can indicate in the proposed timetable the different hours at which the various stages of Bill or other business should be completed.

Committee on Private Members’ Bills:

The Deputy Speaker is invariably its member and as far as possible every section of opinion of the House is represented therein. The functions of the Committee are ; to examine and classify all Private Members’ Bills according to their nature, urgency and importance; to allot time to Private Members’ Bill and resolution; to examine Private Members’ Bill seeking to amend the Constitution before their introduction in the House; to examine a Private Members’ Bill which is opposed in the House on the ground that the Bill initiates legislation outside the legislative competence of the House and to perform such other functions as may be assigned to it by the Speaker from time to time.

Committee on Petitions:

Article 350 entitles a citizen to submit representation for the r dress of grievance to any officer or authority in the Union or a State. It is also considered an inherit right of a citizen to present a petition to Parliament ventilating public grievances and offering suggestions on matters of public importance. Rules of the Lok Sabha (160-67) provide for such petition to be presented.

The Committee on Petitions examines the merits of the petitions and makes recommendations to the House after taking such evidence as it may deem necessary. No minutes of dissent can be appended to the Report of the Committee.

Committee on Government Assurances:

It is meant to scrutinize the assurances, promises, undertakings etc. given by Ministers from time to time and to report on the extent to which such assurances etc. have been implemented and to see whether such implementation has taken place within the minimum time necessary for the purpose. The Council of States has no such Committee.

Committee on Privileges:

The Committee is set up to examine every question involving breach of privilege of the House or of the member of any Committee thereof, referred to it by the House or by the Speaker. Also to determine with reference to the facts of each case whether a breach of privilege is involved and make suitable recommendations in its report.

In this committee the deputy speaker is the chairman who presides over its meetings.

Committee on Subordinate Legislation:

This Committee is set up to scrutinize and report to the House whether the powers to make regulations, rules, sub-rules, by-laws etc., conferred by the Constitution or delegated by Parliament are being properly exercised by the executive within the scope of such delegation.

Committee on Absence of Members from the Sittings of the House:

This Committee is set up to consider application from members for leave of-absence from the sittings of the House and examine every case where a member has been absent for a period of 60 days or more, without permissions, from the sittings of the House.

Rules Committee:

This Committee is set up to consider matters of procedure and conduct of business in the House and recommend any amendments or additions to the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha that are considered necessary.

Committee Dealing with Facilities:

There are three committees dealing with provisions of facilities to members-the General Purposes Committee, the House Committee and the Library Com­mittee. The function of the General Purposes Committee is to consider and advice on such matters concerning the affairs of the House as may be referred to it by the Speaker. The House Committee deals with matters of accommodation, food and medical aid for members.

The functions of the Library Committee are: to consider and advise on such matters concerning the Library as may be referred to it by the Speaker, to consider suggestions for the improvement of the Library, and to assist members in fully utilising the services provided by the Committee.

Committee on Papers Laid on the Table:

This Committee is set up to examine all papers laid on the Table of the House by Ministers (other than those which fall within the purview of the Committee on Subordinate Legislation or any other Parliamentary Committee) and to report to the House— (a) whether there has been compliance of the provisions of the Constitution, Act, rule or regulation under which the paper has been laid; (b) whether there has been any unreasonable delay in laying the paper; (c) if there has been such delay, whether a statement explaining the reasons for delay has been laid on the Table of the House and whether those reasons are satisfactory; (d) whether both the Hindi and English versions of the paper have been laid on the Table; (e) whether statement explaining the reasons for not laying the Hindi version has been given and whether such reasons are satisfactory; and (f) such other functions in respect of the papers laid on the Table as may be assigned to it by the Speaker from time to time.

Joint Committee on Salaries and Allowances of Members of Parliament:

This Committee is set up to make rules, after consultation with the Central Government to provide for travelling and daily allowances, medical, housing, telephone, postal, water, electricity, constituency and secretarial facilities etc. to members of both Houses. This committee has 15 members nominated by the speaker to look into the cases regarding the violation of privileges of members of Parliament and recommend suitable action.

Joint Committee on Offices of Profit:

The function of this Committee is to examine the composition and character of the Committees appointed by the Central and State Governments and to recommend what offices should disqualify and what offices should not disqualify a person for being chosen as, and for being, a member of either House of the Parliament under Article 102 of the Constitution. It is also to scrutinise from time to time the Schedule to the Parliament (Prevention of Disqualification) Act, 1959 and to recommend any amendments in the said Schedule, whether by way of addition, omission or otherwise.

Consultative Committees:

In 1954, the Government decided to establish Informal Consultative Committees for the various Ministries. But the Opposition parties and groups did not take kindly to the Consultative Committees. As a result of discussion between the Government and the opposition at different levels in 1969, it was decided to delete the word ‘Informal’ from their nomenclature.

Mutually agreed “guidelines” were also formulated to regulate their functioning. The Government, however, did not accept the suggestion of the Opposition for the formation of the Parliamentary Committees in place of Consultative Committees.

Members of both Houses of Parliament are nominated on the Consultative Committees for various Ministers by the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs on the basis of preference indicated by the members themselves or by the party leaders. Members of the Opposition parties are nominated in proportion to their numerical strength in Parliament.

Every Opposition party or group has, thus, its fixed quota of representation on the Consultative Committees and these parties and groups are free to nominate their members on more than one Committee within the quota allotted to them. The Minister concerned presides over the meetings of the Consultative Committee attached to his Ministry.

The Committee provide a forum of informed discussions between the members, Ministers and-senior officials of the Government on the problems and policies of the Government relating to administration in a manner which is not practicable on the floor of the House. The deliberations of these Committees are informal and no reference to the discussions held in the meetings is made on the floor of the House and it is binding on the Government as well as the members of the Committees.

Members of these Committees are free to discuss any matter which can appropriately be discussed in Parliament. The practice is to invite suggestions and items for discussion from members and thereupon agenda with notes is prepared and circulated among members. The Committees cannot summon witnesses, send for or demand the production of any files, or examine any official records.

The Chairman of the Committee may, however, furnish any additional information required by members. But the Consultative Committees, it is widely felt, do not function as committees, and still less discharge the functions of consultation except in a purely formal sense. The committee, attached to a Ministry, does not meet by itself without the Minister to discuss or deliberate. It is convened by the Minister. Polemics and partisanship are as present in the committees’ deliberations as they are in Parliament itself.

Working of the Parliament :

Article 118 empowers each House of Parliament to make rules for regulating its procedure and conduct of its business. This rule-making power of the Houses is, however, subject to the Provisions of this Constitution. Parliament may for the purpose of the timely completion of financial business, regulate by law the procedure and conduct of business, in each Houses of Parliament in relation to any financial matter or to any Money Bill (Article 119).

The business of Parliament shall be transacted in Hindi or in English. However, the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha or the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, as the case may be, may permit any member who cannot adequately express himself in Hindi or in English to address the House in his mother-tongue.

The New Parliament after Election:

At the commencement of the first session after each general election to the Lok Sabha and at the commencement of first session in each year, the President addresses both the houses of Parliament in a joint session. The President’s address at the com­mencement of the first session of the year is a regular feature. The Parliament takes up the regular business after the address of the President.

Conduct of Business:

Oath or affirmation by members:.

Every member of either House of Parliament shall, before taking his seat, make and subscribe before the President, or some person appointed in that behalf by him, an oath or affirmation according to the form set out for the purpose in the Third Schedule (Article 99).

Voting in Houses, Power of Houses to Act Notwithstanding Vacancies and Quorum:

Save as otherwise provided in this Constitution, all questions at any sitting of either House or joint sitting of the Houses shall be determined by a majority of votes of the members present and voting, other than the Speaker or person acting as Chairman or Speaker [Article 100(1)].

The Chairman or Speaker, or person acting as such, shall not vote in the first instance, but shall have and exercise a casting vote in the case of an equality of votes.

Either House of Parliament shall have power to act notwithstanding any vacancy in the member­ship thereof, and any proceedings in Parliament shall be valid notwithstanding that it is discovered subsequently that some person who was not entitled so to do sat or voted or otherwise took part in the proceedings [Article 100(2)].

Until Parliament by law otherwise provides, the quorum to constitute a meeting of either House of Parliament shall be one-tenth of the total number of members of the House [Article 100(3)].

If at any time during a meeting of a House there is no quorum, it shall be the duty of the Chairman or Speaker, or person acting as such, either to adjourn the House or to suspend the meeting until there is a quorum [Article 100(4)].

Delegated Legislation :

An inevitable consequence of extension in the activities of the State, particularly when it aims to establish a socialistic society, is the sizable increase in legislation. Since it is not possible for the legislature to enact measures so numerous and so comprehensive, delegation of authority to the Executive becomes not only necessary but quite inescapable. In fact, it would not be incorrect to say that today; the volume of delegated legislation greatly exceeds the Acts of Parliament.

Delegated legislation is usually concerned with minor matters to give effect to the provisions of the Statutes. But it is not always so. There are instances both in India and other countries, where important powers, such as the power to determine matters of principle, to impose taxation, to amend Acts of Parliament, to create new offences and prescribe penalties have been delegated.

These are, no doubt, abnormal instances of legislative delegation of authority, but they are by no means rare. The rules and regulations thus made have the force of law and they cannot be challenged in courts unless they are ultra virus of the parent Acts.

The rules framed there under are very often vexatious to the citizens as the administrative officers concerned with the framing of the rules exalt administrative convenience and the national advantage at the expense of the individual and his freedom. To safeguard against the abuse of power it is, therefore, for Parliament to keep a watchful and even jealous eye on delegated legislation at all its stages.

The usual safeguards are: defining the limits of delegation, laying down a special procedure for rule making, giving adequate publicity to the proposed rules, requiring the rules made to be laid on the table of the House and the process of scrutiny.

Two Rules of the Procedure of the Lok Sabha (House of the People) set down important provisions. Rule No. 70 states that “a Bill involving proposals for the delegation of legislative power shall further be accompanied by a memorandum explaining such proposals and drawing attention to their scope and stating also whether they are of normal or exceptional character.”

Rule No. 222 prescribes “Each regulation, ‘rule’, ‘sub-rule’, ‘bye-law’, etc, framed in pursuance of the legislative function delegated by Parliament to a subordinate authority and which is required to be laid before the House shall subject to such rules as the Speaker may in consultation with the Leader of the House prescribe, be numbered centrally and published in the Gazette of India immediately after they are promulgated.

The scrutiny of delegated legislation by Parliament itself is of recent origin. In some respects India has established certain advantageous precedents with regard to subordinate legislation. The Speaker has invariably appointed a member of the Opposition as chairman of the committee on Subordinate Legislation. Since the membership of this Committee is not open to Ministers, it has functioned as a well-knit business committee free from official influence, party spirit and party whip.

Government Bills:

Government bills are piloted by members of the Council of Ministers. The decision on government bills is taken by the Cabinet and its Parliamentary Affairs Committee. The order of government business in the house is decided by consultations between the leaders of the House and the Speaker, or the Chairman, as the case may be.

Method of Passing Laws:

A bill other than money bills may be introduced in either house of Parliament. It has to be passed in identical form and consented by both houses before it can be presented for the President’s assent. Money bills can be introduced only in the lower house. All legislative proposals must be brought in the form of Dills before Parliament.

First Reading:

The legislative process starts with the introduction of the bill in either house of Parliament. After a bill has been introduced, it is published in the official Gazette. But, even before introduction, a bill might, with the permission of the Speaker, be published in the Gazette.

Second Reading:

The Second Reading consists of consideration of the bill in two stages. The first stage consists of a general discussion on the bill as a whole.

The second stage of the second reading consists of clause by clause consideration of the bill as introduced or as reported by the Select Committee or Joint Select Committee.

Third Reading:

After the various stages of the second reading are completed, the member-in- charge can move that the bill be passed. This stage is called the third or the final reading of the bill. At this stage, debate is confined to arguments either in support of the bill or in rejection, without referring to the details thereof further than is absolutely necessary.

After the bill is passed by one house, it is sent to the other house for concurrence with a mes­sage to that effect. In the other house also it goes through the three stages. In regard to money bills, the Lok Sabha has got the exclusive power to legislate and the Rajya Sabha can only recommend amendments therein and must return such a bill to the Lok Sabha within fourteen days from the date of its receipt.

Assent of the President:

When a bill is passed by both houses, the Secretariat of the house obtains the assent of the President and the bill becomes an Act.

The President can give his assent or withhold his assent to a bill. The President can also return the bill-except, of course, a money bill—with his recommendations to the house for reconsideration, and if the houses pass the bill again with or without amendments, the bill has to be assented to by the President.

Financial Powers :

The power to authorise the raising and spending of money rests with the Lok Sabha. The initiative must, of course, come from the Executive in the form of the Budget. In the words of the Constitution, the President shall, in respect of every financial year, cause to be laid before both the Houses of Parliament a statement of the estimated receipts and expenditure of the Government of India for that year, referred to as the ‘annual financial statement; A distinction is made between votable expendi­ture and expenditure charged on the Consolidated Fund of India, while the former is voted upon, the latter is not subject to voting, although it is included in the statement of expenditure laid before the House and can be discussed.

Vote on Account :

The process of voting of Demands continues for a long time while day to day expenditure of the government departments cannot wait till the Budget is finally passed. To meet this difficulty, a new device was introduced in 1950 known as the ‘Vote on Account’.

The passing of the Vote on Account followed by the appropriation (Vote on Account Act) authorizes the Government to draw on the Consolidated Fund of India, generally for a period of two months. The Vote on Account which is usually passed without debate enables the house to consider the budget at leisure.

Parliamentary Methods to Control the Executive :

The rules of procedure and conduct of business in Parliament provide that unless the presiding officer otherwise directs, the first hour of every sitting shall be available for the asking and answering of questions. This first hour is known as the Question Hour.

The primary object of an ‘adjournment motion’ is to draw the attention of the house to a recent matter of urgent public importance having serious consequences.

A member may with the previous permission of the Speaker call the attention of a minister to any matter of public importance and request the Minister to make a statement on the subject. The minis­ter may either make a brief statement immediately or he may ask for time to the statement at the later hour or date. The main purpose of a ‘calling attention’ is to seek an authoritative statement from the concerned Minister on a matter of urgent public importance.

Committee System to Control Government :

Parliament has established a series of committees with necessary powers to scrutinise the working of the different departments of the government.

The Parliamentary Committees ensure an effective and comprehensive examination of all the proposed policies. Very often, the Committees provide an ideal context for discussing controversial and sensitive matters in a non-partisan manner, away from the glare of publicity.

Essay on the Parliament of India: The Union legislature is called the Parliament or Lok Sabha

The Union legislature is called the Parliament or Lok Sabha. It consists of two chambers, the Council of State (Rajya Sahha) and the House of people (Lok Sabha). The Parliament is the supreme law – making body of the nation. It is paramount in all respects. It directly or indirectly represents the people of India. It fulfils the needs, aspirations and goals of the people of India.

Each house of parliament is summoned to meet within a period of six months from the adjournment of the last session. The President convenes and prorogues both the houses and also dissolves the House of the people as and when necessary. He may address either house of the Parliament of both the houses assembled together. He may also send messages to either house regarding bills which must be expeditiously considered.

Every union minister and the Attorney – General of India shall have the right to take part in the proceedings of the either house, any joint sitting of the houses or any committee of the parliament, of which he may be made a member, but shall not by virtue of this provision only, be entitled to vote.

Any person cannot be chosen as a member of either house; if he holds a government job; if he is of unsound mind, if he is an undischarged insolvent; if he is not a citizen of India or has voluntarily acquired the citizenship of foreign country; and if he is so disqualified by any law made by the parliament. It is clear that an average citizen can aspire to be member of either houses and participate in its proceedings which is the supreme body of governance.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

The houses of the people or Lok Sabha is the popular political and relatively more powerful chamber of India. Its members are elected on the basis of adult franchise. The provision of universal adult franchise for the election of the popular houses of sovereigin India is considered as the fountain spring of democracy. There is only one general electoral roll for every constituency, but on the basis of population ratio in every province some seats have been reserved for the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. Initially this reservation was made, to begin with by 10 years. However, this reservation policy is being extended from time to time and it is still in operation. The President is authorised to nominate not more than two members from the Anglo- Indian community if he is of the opinion that the said community has not be adequately represented. The Lok Sabha comprises not more than 530 representatives of the States (w.e.f. 1987); not more than 20 representatives of Union Territories and not more than 2 members of Anglo-India community.

A person is not qualified to be a member of the Lok Sabha or House of People if he is not a bonafide citizen of India and is not 25 years of age and if he does not possess such other qualifications as may be prescribed for the propose by the Parliament. This means that every bonafide citizen can represent his/her constituency in the House of People, the supreme law-making body of the nation.

The House of the People to which members are directly elected, is the source of all powers for the governance of the country. The parliament can make laws on all subjects enunciated in the union as well as in the concurrent list. Its law shall prevail, if it conflicts with a similar law passed by a State in the concurrent list. The State list is beyond its field of legislation. However, this is not so in an emergency, when the parliament gets the right to legislate on all matters. There are three special circumstances and the Parliament acquires the right to legislate on the State list: (i) When the council of States shall declare that it is necessary or expedient in the national interest that the parliament should make laws in regard to any matter enumerated in the State list: (ii) When it appears to the legislatures of two or more States to be desirable that some subjects in the State list should be regulated for them by the parliament and (iii) When it is necessary for implementing any treaty, agreement or convention with any other country or countries or any decision made at any international or conference, association or such other body.

Parliament keeps a day to day watch over the activities of the Executive and controls it. This is done through the right of members of the parliament to ask questions and

supplementary questions from the ministers. According to Article-105 of the Constitution members have full freedom of speech in parliament. No member of parliament is liable to any court of law in respect of anything said in the parliament. No representative of the parliament is liable also in respect of the publication by or under the authority of either house of the parliament. In all other respects powers, privileges and immunities of members of each house are laid down by parliament from time to time

As the time goes by members of the parliament roll on new members gather experience in parliamentary affairs, in the matters of self rules and in the matters of governance through representatives. Thus, continuing and ex-members disseminate knowledge in their constituencies about parliamentary proceedings.

Indian parliament is all powerful like British parliament. Article-368 of the Constitution gives Indian parliament the right of amending the Constitution and the same has been amended several times. Through the 73rd and 74th amendment of the constitution electoral politics and governance has been devolved in the people at the grass-roots level, i.e. the representative system of governance has been taken to the Gram Sabha level

Indian society, as complex it is, has rightly chosen the path of democracy and a representative government. Democracy is that form of government which derives its power from its people. The parliamentary democracy means a democracy where the executive is responsible to and removable by the elected representatives of the people. The founding fathers of Indian constitution have asked wisely in adopting a democratic form of government. The entire range of national movement was based on the sacred principle underlying democracy that a people have the inherent right to govern themselves. They wisely chose its parliamentary form because that was in keeping with our past political institutions set up under the colonial rule. This means there has been a continuity of political life in the country. The foundations of parliamentary form of government had been laid down as well as in 1892. Since that time parliamentary form of government, in form or the other, has been functioning in India. The acceptance of the parliamentary form was a deliberate one by the people of India. They have preferred it because it ensures day to day and periodic responsibility of the government to the people. It is day to day because the elected representatives take up the problems of the people in various democratic fora in their deliberations.

Democratic from of government succeeds in a country, or society where the system of public instruction on education is liberal. Democracy believes in utilising the opinion of every individual in running the government. In India , through political parties common people are being prepared for adequate discharge of responsibilities in a democratic set up, through a system of liberal education. Education should not only be universal, free and compulsory at the Elementary stage, but should be liberal. Liberal education means permission for free flow of ideas and thoughts. It should be based on the assessment of conflicting ideologies, say for instance, democracy vis-a-vis regimentation. Any regimentation of thought is suicidal to democracy. In India, 34.62 per cent ( 2001 census) of people are illiterate, which is a handicap for the functioning of proper democracy. But education in India is liberal.

Democracy prospers where democratic values are held above sectionalism. People should possess a genuine sense of nationalism which transcends the barriers of locality language, religion, ethnicity, and caste. The ideals of democracy ought to include social as well as economic democracy. Social democracy means that the State should not recognize differences based on language, religion, ethnicity and caste. All social discriminations must be done away with in a democracy. Economic democracy mean equal economic opportunities for all. It means that every one should get enough to live o and no body should die of starvation. However, conditions in India today seems to be f behind the idea of economic justice.

Other factors essential for successful democracy are natural, honest and efficient public servants as well as an independent judiciary. A part from the above, local self government, which the craddle of democracy must generate local self institutions to serve as the training centre for future politician and statesman.

Indian Politics Essay

India is the largest democracy in the world, with over 133.92 Crores people of different cultures and religions. Cultural aspects of north India are completely different from that of down south. Similarly, central India has its own distinct cultural and linguistic heritage, which is completely different from north east or far west, for that matter. Considering the huge cultural and religious diversity of India it is quite natural that every region has its own political representative.

This in turn makes Indian politics complicated than the western democracies with a single religion and culture in majority. A politician in India can only be successful when he/she manages to garner the support of different religions, cultures as well as caste. Politics in India isn’t easy and provides a quite challenging environment to even the most adept politicians.

Short Essay on Indian Politics – Essay 1 (200 words)

India is a democratic country. The political leaders and parties in India come into power by voting system. Indian citizens above the age of 18 years acquire the right to vote and elect their leaders. However, although it is a government by the people, to the people and for the people, the common man still suffers a great deal. This is because there is a lot of corruption within the political system of our country.

Most of our political leaders are known to be corrupt. Their corrupt practices often come to limelight however they are seldom punished for the same. Such a mindset and behaviour of our politicians is affecting the country adversely. This is hampering the growth and development of the country to a vast extent. The common man of the country is suffering the most due to the corrupt Indian politics. On the other hand, the ministers are misusing their power and position to further their interests.

A huge amount of tax is being levied on the general public. Instead of using this money to develop the country, corrupt politicians are filling their bank accounts with it. This is the reason why we have not developed as much as we should have since independence.

The Indian political system must be changed for good to bring about a positive change in the society.

Essay on Indian Politics and Politicians – Essay 2 (300 words)

Introduction

India enjoys a democratic set up that gives the general public the right to vote and elect government. While this type of political system is strong and sound with clearly defined laws, in India it has been a prey to corrupt politicians ever since its inception.

The Need for Educated Ministers

In India, almost anyone can contest elections and come to power. The person contesting the elections must be a citizen of India and should be minimum 25 years of age. Apart from this, there are few other very simple clauses to contest elections in our country.

It is strange that there is no minimum education criterion to run the government in our country. It is ironic that the nation has witnessed many uneducated and non deserving candidates rising to higher powerful levels in politics purely on the basis of money and muscle strength. We cannot expect our country to grow in the right direction when the power is in the hands of such politicians.

There is a dire need to elect educated politicians for the development of our country. We can exercise NOTA if none of the politicians contesting the elections is well-qualified and worthy of the position.

Corruption at the Chore of Indian Politics

Most of the politicians are corrupt. They misuse their power to further their interests rather than serving the country. Every now and then there is news about ministers and their family members being involved in illegal practices and scams. Since they are in power they do not fear anyone and get away with the crime.

It is the common man who is suffering due to these corrupt politicians and their corrupt practices.

India, as a nation can prosper only if our political system is improved. We need educated, sincere and hard working politicians who work for the betterment of our country and not for their personal good.

Essay on Indian Political System – Essay 3 (400 words)

India is a federal parliamentary democratic republic. It is known to be world’s largest democracy. This Indian political system came into being in August 1947 as the country got freedom from the British rule. The constitution of India was written soon after and came into force on 26 th January 1950. It has seen several amendments since then. These changes have been brought about for the good of the society after a lot of consideration.

The Political Set up of India

The President of India is the head of the state in our country while the Prime Minister is the head of the government. We have an upper house referred to as the Rajya Sabha and a lower house called the Lok Sabha. The members of these houses are known as the Members of Parliament (MP). Here is a brief about these parliamentary houses:

• There are a total of 545 members in the Lok Sabha.
• 543 Lok Sabha members are elected by the general public of the country through election. 2 Lok Sabha members are elected directly by the President of the country from the Anglo Indian Community.
• Among other requirements, one must be 25 years of age in order to be eligible for Lok Sabha membership.

Rajya Sabha

• There are a total of 245 members in the Rajya Sabha.
• 233 members of the Rajya Sabha are elected from States and Union Territories. 12 members are nominated by the President.
• A candidate must be at least 30 years old in order to become a Rajya Sabha member.

The Members of Parliament is an essential part of the Indian political system and have the power to take many political decisions collectively.

Political Parties and Formation of Government

India has numerous political parties that contest the elections. The party that gets majority of votes comes into power. The government of India is formed for a total of five years.

For years, the Indian National Congress and the Bhartiya Janata Party were the main political parties in the country that gave a tough competition to each other during elections. However, the recently formed Aam Aadmi Party headed by Arvind Kejriwal is now giving them a tough race.

The Indian political system largely suffers from corruption. Though the constitution of our country has clearly defined laws, the ministers are exempted from it for most part. They work as per their will and the general public suffers because of their corrupt means. The political system of the country needs serious reforms to ensure proper growth and development of the country.

Essay on Politics and Corruption – Essay 4 (500 words)

The terms, politics and corruption can be used synonymously when it comes to the Indian political system. It would be no exaggeration to say that the Indian political system is corrupted to the core.

Politics and Corruption

India is a land full of corrupt politicians who think about nothing but juggling more and more money by corrupt means. They work for their own benefit rather than the benefit of their country. The cases of the Indian politicians being involved in various kinds of scams have come forward many a times and these are a proof how they are bluffing the general public of the country to further their selfish motives.

Our leaders make numerous promises to the general public before coming to the power but forget about the same as they gain power. This happens in every election. The poor public gets fooled by the corrupt ministers each time. They vote for the politicians based on the promises they make in the hope of a better future. However, they are disheartened each time. Their problems remain unheard and they continue to live miserably.

Time to Bring About Change

The people of India need to wake up and realize that the political system will continue to stay as corrupt as it is till the time they allow it to be. They must realize that they are being befooled by the corrupt ministers time and again. The corrupt practices of the ministers are having negative repercussions on the entire society. The rise in the prices of petrol, diesel, food items and other commodities is all a result of the corruption in the system. Unequal wealth distribution and slow economic growth of the country is also because of the corrupt practices of our leaders.

It is unfortunate that willingly or unwillingly, the general public is becoming a party to the corrupt practices. One of the clear examples of this is bribery. While we allege the ministers and government officials of bribery we forget that we also promote the same by giving bribery at various places just to get our work done quickly and smoothly.

It is time for us to stand united to drive corruption out of our country. The only way to bring about a positive change in the political system is to raise voice unanimously. We need to realize that our strength lies in our unity and we must use it to improve the system.

Let the History Repeat itself

Just as the Indians stood united against the British, we must come together once again with the same dedication and feeling of patriotism to fight against corruption and the corrupt politicians. We must all think above our petty issues and work for a bigger cause. It is time to bring about reforms and stop the corrupt practices of the people in power. If our ancestors could struggle and sacrifice so much for our better future then why can’t we do the same?

The politicians of India are eating the country like parasites. Instead of complaining and yet being a part of this corrupt system, we must now act upon breaking it. We, Indians must unite to bring about reforms by ending corruption.

Democracy Essay

Democracy is derived from the Greek word demos or people. It is defined as a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people. Democracy is exercised directly by the people; in large societies, it is by the people through their elected agents. In the phrase of President Abraham Lincoln, democracy is the “Government of the people, by the people, and for the people.” There are various democratic countries, but India has the largest democracy in the world. This Democracy Essay will help you know all about India’s democracy. Students can also get a list of CBSE Essays on different topics to boost their essay-writing skills.

500+ Words Democracy Essay

India is a very large country full of diversities – linguistically, culturally and religiously. At the time of independence, it was economically underdeveloped. There were enormous regional disparities, widespread poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, and a shortage of almost all public welfare means. Since independence, India has been functioning as a responsible democracy. The same has been appreciated by the international community. It has successfully adapted to challenging situations. There have been free and fair periodic elections for all political offices, from the panchayats to the President. There has been a smooth transfer of political power from one political party or set of political parties to others, both at national and state levels, on many occasions.

India: A Democratic Country

Democracy is of two, i.e. direct and representative. In a direct democracy, all citizens, without the intermediary of elected or appointed officials, can participate in making public decisions. Such a system is only practical with relatively small numbers of people in a community organisation or tribal council. Whereas in representative democracy, every citizen has the right to vote for their representative. People elect their representatives to all levels, from Panchayats, Municipal Boards, State Assemblies and Parliament. In India, we have a representative democracy.

Democracy is a form of government in which rulers elected by the people take all the major decisions. Elections offer a choice and fair opportunity to the people to change the current rulers. This choice and opportunity are available to all people on an equal basis. The exercise of this choice leads to a government limited by basic rules of the constitution and citizens’ rights.

Democracy is the Best Form of Government

A democratic government is a better government because it is a more accountable form of government. Democracy provides a method to deal with differences and conflicts. Thus, democracy improves the quality of decision-making. The advantage of a democracy is that mistakes cannot be hidden for long. There is a space for public discussion, and there is room for correction. Either the rulers have to change their decisions, or the rulers can be changed. Democracy offers better chances of a good decision. It respects people’s own wishes and allows different kinds of people to live together. Even when it fails to do some of these things, it allows a way of correcting its mistakes and offers more dignity to all citizens. That is why democracy is considered the best form of government.

Essay on Women’s Reservation in Parliament India

Students are often asked to write an essay on Women’s Reservation in Parliament India in their schools and colleges. And if you’re also looking for the same, we have created 100-word, 250-word, and 500-word essays on the topic.

Let’s take a look…

100 Words Essay on Women’s Reservation in Parliament India

Introduction.

Women’s Reservation in Parliament is a crucial subject in India. It aims to increase the representation of women in political arenas.

Current Scenario

At present, women’s representation in Indian Parliament is less than 15%. Despite women comprising about half of the population, their political participation is low.

Need for Reservation

The reservation is necessary to ensure women’s voices are heard. It can help address gender disparities and promote social justice.

Women’s Reservation in Parliament is a step towards gender equality. It can empower women and contribute to a balanced society.

250 Words Essay on Women’s Reservation in Parliament India

Women’s reservation in the Indian Parliament is a long-standing issue that has sparked numerous debates. The objective is to rectify the gender disparity in the political arena by ensuring a certain percentage of representation for women.

The Need for Women’s Reservation

Women constitute approximately half of India’s population but their representation in Parliament is dismal. This underrepresentation hinders the development of effective policies that address women’s issues. Therefore, a quota system is seen as an essential tool to ensure women’s voices are heard.

The Women’s Reservation Bill

The Women’s Reservation Bill, proposing a 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies, has been a contentious issue. Despite being introduced in 1996, the bill has not been passed due to various political hurdles.

Challenges and Criticisms

Opponents argue that the reservation system may not truly empower women, rather it might be misused to promote proxies. There’s also a concern that it might undermine the democratic principle of equal opportunity by promoting gender over merit.

While the Women’s Reservation Bill is a step towards gender equality, it should be accompanied by societal changes that foster a culture of respect and equality. Women’s political empowerment is not just about numbers, but about creating an environment where women can make significant contributions to the decision-making process.

500 Words Essay on Women’s Reservation in Parliament India

The topic of Women’s Reservation in Parliament in India is a pressing issue that has been at the center of political discourse for several years. The Women’s Reservation Bill, officially known as the Constitution (108th Amendment) Bill, seeks to reserve one-third of all seats in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies for women. This essay will discuss the significance, challenges, and potential impacts of this legislation.

The Significance of Women’s Reservation

The representation of women in Indian politics has been historically low. Despite comprising nearly half of the population, women account for a meager percentage of elected representatives. This imbalance is not just a matter of social justice, but also of effective governance. A more representative Parliament, with significant women’s participation, can better address the diverse needs and concerns of the Indian populace. Moreover, women’s political empowerment is essential for the realization of gender equality and the strengthening of democracy.

Challenges in Implementing Women’s Reservation

Despite its importance, the Women’s Reservation Bill has faced significant resistance. Critics argue that it may only benefit women from privileged backgrounds, exacerbating social inequalities. Others contend that it would lead to proxy representation, with male politicians using female relatives as figureheads. Additionally, there are concerns that it could disrupt existing political dynamics, leading to resistance from male politicians.

The Potential Impact of Women’s Reservation

Despite these challenges, the potential benefits of women’s reservation in Parliament are substantial. Research from around the world shows that women in politics tend to prioritize issues such as education, health, and social justice. Increased representation of women in the Indian Parliament could therefore lead to more attention and resources being allocated to these critical areas.

Moreover, women’s reservation can set a powerful precedent for gender equality in other sectors. It can challenge traditional gender norms and stereotypes, encouraging more women to participate in public life and aspire to leadership positions.

The Women’s Reservation Bill represents a crucial step towards gender equality in India. While it faces significant challenges and resistance, its potential impact on governance, social justice, and gender norms cannot be underestimated. It is essential for the Indian society and its political leaders to recognize the importance of women’s representation in Parliament and work towards making this a reality. The journey towards achieving this goal may be fraught with obstacles, but the destination promises a more inclusive and equitable India.

In conclusion, the Women’s Reservation in Parliament is not just about numbers or token representation. It is about making the Indian democracy truly representative and responsive to all its citizens. It is about empowering women to take their rightful place in the decision-making processes that shape the nation’s future. And most importantly, it is about building an India where gender is no longer a barrier to opportunity and achievement.

Write a Good Introduction

An introduction plays an important role in making an impression on the reader’s mind. The readers decide on the basis of the introduction, whether they want to read the rest of the essay or not. 

Here is how you can compose the introduction paragraph:

• It should start with a strong hook that grabs the reader’s attention immediately.
• Provide a little background information that helps the reader understand the topic
• Conclude the intro with a compelling thesis statement that you will support in the body.

Here is an example:

Compose the Body Paragraphs

• Topic sentence

The first sentence of the body paragraph. It presents the main point that will be discussed in the paragraph.

It could be any points or evidence that support your main thesis.

• Transition statement

This statement relates the body paragraph back to the thesis, and also connects it with the subsequent paragraph.

Writing a 500 word essay can be a daunting task, especially for those who are not confident in their writing skills. However, with the right approach, anyone can write a concise and compelling essay that effectively communicates their arguments and evidence.

Drafting the Essay

The first step in writing a 500 word essay is to draft the essay. This involves brainstorming ideas, outlining the essay, and writing a rough draft. When brainstorming ideas, it is important to focus on a specific topic and come up with a clear thesis statement. Once a thesis statement is established, the essay can be outlined, and the rough draft can be written.

Incorporating Arguments and Evidence

Incorporating arguments and evidence is a crucial part of writing a 500 word essay. To effectively incorporate arguments and evidence, it is important to use clear and concise language and to provide specific examples to support your arguments. When using evidence, it is important to cite your sources properly to avoid plagiarism .

Here are some words that can help you incorporate arguments and evidence:

For example, “The claim that technology has improved our lives is supported by ample evidence, including the fact that we can now communicate with people from all over the world in real-time.”

Maintaining Unity and Coherence

Maintaining unity and coherence is essential in writing a 500 word essay. Unity refers to the overall focus of the essay, while coherence refers to the logical flow of ideas. To maintain unity and coherence, it is important to use transitional words and phrases to connect ideas and to avoid repeating information.

Here are some words that can help you maintain unity and coherence:

For example, “Furthermore, the use of renewable energy sources is not only environmentally friendly but also cost-effective. Similarly, the implementation of energy-efficient technologies can significantly reduce energy consumption. Consequently, it is essential that we take steps to reduce our reliance on non-renewable energy sources.”

Revision and Proofreading

Revising the essay.

After writing the first draft of your 500 word essay, it is crucial to revise it. Revising the essay means looking at the content, structure, and language to ensure that it meets the requirements of the assignment. Here are some tips for revising your essay:

• Read through your essay and check that it makes sense and flows logically.
• Check that each paragraph has a clear topic sentence and supports the main idea of the essay.
• Make sure that your essay has a clear introduction, body, and conclusion.
• Check that your language is clear, concise, and free of errors.
• Ensure that you have used reliable sources to support your arguments.

Proofreading for Errors

Once you have revised your essay, it is time to proofread it. Proofreading means checking for errors in spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Here are some tips for proofreading your essay:

• Read your essay slowly and carefully, checking for errors in spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
• Use a spell checker to help you catch any spelling errors.
• Check that you have used correct grammar, such as subject-verb agreement and proper use of pronouns.
• Ensure that your punctuation is correct, including commas, periods, and quotation marks.
• Double-check that you have used the correct tense and verb forms throughout your essay.

Remember, revising and proofreading are essential steps in the writing process. By taking the time to revise and proofread your essay, you can ensure that it is clear, concise, and error-free.

Challenges and Solutions When Writing a 500 Word Essay

Common challenges.

Lack of Confidence

One of the most common challenges in essay writing is lack of confidence. If you think you’re not good at writing, you might have trouble starting your paper. You might doubt your capability to complete it as well. To overcome this challenge, try to focus on the task at hand and break it down into smaller, manageable parts. Start with an outline and gradually build up your essay. Remember, practice makes perfect, and the more you write, the more confident you’ll become.

Time Management

Another common challenge is time management. You might have other assignments to complete, or you might be working a part-time job. To manage your time effectively, create a schedule that includes time for research, writing, and editing. Stick to your schedule and avoid distractions, such as social media or TV. If you’re struggling to manage your time, consider seeking help from a tutor or mentor.

Choosing a topic can also be a challenge. You might be given a specific topic, or you might have to choose your own. To choose a topic, consider your interests and the requirements of the assignment. Brainstorm ideas and narrow down your options until you find a topic that you’re passionate about and that fits the assignment.

Solutions and Tips

Research is key to writing a successful 500-word essay. Start by gathering information on your topic from credible sources, such as academic journals, books, and reputable websites. Take notes and organize your information into an outline. This will help you stay focused and ensure that your essay is well-researched and informative.

Structure is also important in essay writing. A well-structured essay is easy to read and understand. Start with an introduction that grabs the reader’s attention and provides background information on your topic. Follow this with body paragraphs that provide evidence and support for your argument. Finally, end with a conclusion that summarizes your main points and leaves a lasting impression on the reader.

Editing and Proofreading

Editing and proofreading are crucial to writing a successful 500-word essay. Once you’ve completed your essay, take a break and come back to it later with fresh eyes. Read through it carefully, looking for errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Make sure your essay flows well and that your ideas are clear and concise. Consider asking a friend or family member to read through your essay as well, as they might catch errors that you missed.

A 500-word essay is a very interesting type of essay writing. Like other academic writing assignments, this type of essay writing is quite often assigned to students at different academic levels.

A 500-word essay tends to polish the writing and analytical skills of a writer. It is not a very extensive composition, but still, it is meaningful and equally important. 

This type of essay writing is interesting and very easy to write. You have to be on point, which means that you do not have to do a lot of research and stay focused on your point of view.

A 500-word essay format is one of the easiest formats to follow for essay writing.

What is a 500-Word Essay?

A 500-word essay is basically an essay with three sections that give clear depictions of an occasion or any item. This type of essay is a common article design that can be followed for composing any sort of exposition, for example, a descriptive essay, an argumentative essay, and so forth.

A 500-word essay is mostly doled out at secondary schools and universities. Almost every other student faces it multiple times throughout academic life. It doesn't have any broad heading, so you can show all your latent capacity by not relying on the subject and theme.

How to Format a 500-Word Essay?

The format of a 500-word essay is very simple and very similar to other types of essay formats. The only thing that makes it different is the essay length.

As the word count for this type of essay is less, thus the length of the paragraphs is also small, and the word count ranges from 75-125 words.

Each paragraph has 3-5 sentences. These sentences must be well-written so that despite being short in length, the sentence can explain its purpose.

Here is a standard format of a 500-word essay that has the following components with examples of each component.

The introduction is responsible for keeping the reader engaged. It provides a brief overview of the overall essay and contains the thesis statement for the essay topic.

It provides background information about your essay’s topic and mentions why you chose this topic in particular.

Also, there is a hook statement in the introduction paragraph. This is a statement that usually is a verse or a famous quotation. It is used as an opening sentence for the essay.

For Example 

After the introduction, the body of the essay starts. The body paragraphs make the body of an essay. For a 500-word essay, particularly, there are usually 4-6 paragraphs.

Each paragraph discusses a key element and provides the required evidence to give it a logical sense.

Like the body paragraph of any other essay, the paragraphs of the 500-word essay start with a topic sentence. This sentence acts as an introduction to the paragraph.

Each paragraph should end with a transition sentence to show a connection with the upcoming part.

Make sure that such a body paragraph is meaningful yet in a comprehensive form.

Here is a sample body paragraph to help you craft a winning 500-word essay

A conclusion paragraph is the extract of the whole essay. The writing skills of a writer are judged by the way they conclude an essay.

Writing the conclusion is the most complicated part of essay writing. To write a good conclusion, the writer must logically summarize all the key elements and reiterate the thesis statement.

Whatever is mentioned in the conclusion should give the reader a sense of closure and completion.

Let's continue with the cell phone example for a better understanding of the conclusion phase.

500 Word Vs. 250 Word Essay

500-word scholarship essays provide you with a significantly greater degree of writing freedom than 250-word ones. When you're given fewer words, it can be tricky to express your views in concise and effective phrases without sacrificing clarity.

With 500 words at hand though, you have ample space to make sure that all the facets of your opinion are expressed - yet don't need footnotes and cited resources as often!

500 Word Essay Vs. 1000 Word Essay

The length of a 500-word essay and a 1000-word essay is quite different. 

While a 500-word essay may not require much outside research or citations, it still requires more focus and organization than a 1000-word essay. 

A 1000-word essay requires far more time and effort to write than a 500-word essay. Plus, it requires you to be more thorough in your research, analysis, and composition. It will also require you to use a greater degree of critical thinking skills when making arguments.

Additionally, a 1000-word essay may call for the use of outside sources to support points or draw conclusions. Thus, writing a 1000-word essay can be a much more challenging task than writing a 500-word essay. 

How Long is a 500-word Essay?

You must be wondering how long exactly a 500-word essay is? As it is a very easy style of composing an essay, so every student prefers to complete it right away and get back to other activities.

One of the interesting facts about this essay type is that it is even shorter than we think. It depends on the formatting style, sizing, and spacing a writer chooses to use. If a writer wants a double-spaced writing format, that is also acceptable for writing such an essay.

To make sure that you write the essay with perfection, understand all the requirements provided by your instructor to compose this type of essay.

How to Write a 500-word Essay?

Writing a 500-word essay is a very simple task to do. But things might get complicated if you do not follow a standard way of writing.

The following are the steps you should consider while writing a 500-word essay.

Before you start writing an essay, the first thing you should do is to understand the requirements provided by your instructor.

Understanding the requirements will help you to complete your essay without any mess and up to the mark. Proceeding according to the requirements will keep you composed through the essay writing process.

Once you have understood all the requirements, the next step is to think of some interesting ideas. Brainstorming helps you to use the creativity of your mind, especially when it comes to essay writing.

Note down all the elements that you come up with within your mind. Make a rough list of all the ideas and later on organize them to compose an effective essay.

After you have understood all the instructions and spent enough time brainstorming different ideas, it is time you choose a topic.

Always choose a unique and interesting topic. A good topic is highly responsible for making your essay attractive. Also, try that you have selected a topic that is not overdone. An overdone and repetitive topic would make your audience boring.

For a 500-word essay, a topic must be very interesting as you have to make the essay interesting within a very limited word count. Make sure that you choose such a topic about which you can easily collect evidence and facts to support it and make it stronger.

Conducting research on the selected topic is an essential part of essay writing. The research will help you collect all the relevant information that is necessary to make your essay stronger.

Also, researching a topic will make the writing process very smooth for you as you will have all the information that is needed for the essay.

Collect all information only from reliable sources as you don’t want to misguide your audience.

The outline is an element of an essay that can save time, make things easy, and earn a better grade.

Just write down all the main features and arguments you want to discuss in your 500-word essay. This will help you to get back on track if you forget the things you wanted to write about.

Moreover, your essay will always be structured and clear, so the audience will read it easily and will follow your thoughts without any challenges.

Since you have your topic and all the information related to the topic thus, you are all set to start writing your essay.

Essay writing starts with writing an introduction. As you are writing an essay of 500 words, an introduction should have only one paragraph. In that paragraph, you should explain the main topic and its importance and also the thesis statement.

After introducing the topic, state the body paragraph, and explain all the key elements in it. Usually, there are three body paragraphs in such essays to explain different key elements.

Don’t forget to add transition words, which will make the text smooth and readable. Also, ensure that you use the standard font styles, preferably Arial or Times New Roman.

The same as an introduction, your conclusion should be one paragraph long. Summarize all the key elements in a very precise way and do not add any new points.

Devoting some extra time to proofreading, revision, and editing can make your essay a whole lot better.

This is the simplest thing to do, but most students still skip it and make the biggest mistake. Proofreading ensures that there are no mistakes left behind in your document.

Always make sure that you revise your essay at least once and do the required editing.

How to Write a 500-word Essay?

Writing a 500-word essay is pretty much like classic essay writing. Here you have to provide solid arguments to support your claim, inform your reader, or discuss a trendy topic.

Like any other typical essay outline, it contains three parts; introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion.

Here is the step-by-step guide that you can follow for writing a 500-word essay.

Create An Outline

• Write A Strong Introduction

Composing The Body Paragraphs

• Write An Impressive Conclusion

Below is a detailed description of each step for writing a perfect 500-word essay. 

First, make a clear and detailed essay outline , and do not miss anything at this point. It will serve as a backbone for your entire paper.

The purpose of this outline is to break down the ideas in a logical and structured manner. Then, to make the content clearer and more coherent throughout the paper. After the outline, write your paper on your own to avoid the risk of plagiarism.

Write a Strong Introduction

The introductory paragraph of your essay will be the first glimpse the reader will catch. Grab your reader from the start of this paragraph with an attention-grabbing hook . Make it as interesting and creative as you can so that they don't put down the essay before reading it all!   For writing an essay introduction , first, you need to introduce your main topic. And give an idea of what the reader may encounter in the rest of the essay.  The first step to start writing an introduction is to introduce your main topic and give a brief idea of what the reader may find later on.

Don’t forget to end this paragraph with a perfect thesis statement on which the whole essay is based. 

The body section of an essay is mostly divided into 3 paragraphs. It is the point where you need to explain all types of arguments you made in an essay. Then, support these arguments with relevant examples, facts, or personal interpretations. 

Here are the key points that are important to cover for a perfect body section of a 500-word essay:

• Start your body paragraph with an engaging topic sentence that discusses what you are going to talk about.
• Examine the main point of view and provide solid facts to support the argument.
• Introduce a new idea with detailed information, examples, and evidence from reliable sources.
• Make sure every idea described in the body paragraphs is concise and relevant.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sentences is a 500-word essay.

You can fit about 500 words on one page with standard margins, single spacing, and size 12 font. This is because there are usually 5 letters in each word, 15 words in a sentence, and an average of 7 sentences in a paragraph.

Can a 500-word essay have 4 paragraphs?

The length of your essay will depend on the type and topic. A 500-word paper can be 3-4 paragraphs long, while a 600 or 700-word document requires 4 to 5 paragraphs in order for it all to make sense.

How many references are needed for a 500-word essay?

Going by the 500-word essay length, you would not need to add more than 2-4 references since you’re limited by the word count. Each citation needs its introductory statement, followed by the source’s data and its explanation, so that leaves little room to add in too many sources.

Does a 500-word essay have to be exactly 500 words?

Yes, that’s because the general rule for any academic essay is to not exceed the given word count by more than 10%. So applying the same rule, your 500 word essay length should ideally not exceed 10%, that is 550 words, so you should try to wrap up your thoughts within that word count or otherwise risk a negative marking by the professor.

Education is a fundamental need and right of everyone now. In order to achieve our goals and help develop a just society, we need education. Similarly, education plays a great role in the national development of a nation. As we are facing a major change in terms of knowledge globally, the Government of India approved the National Education Policy 2020. This essay on new education policy 2020 will help you learn how this new policy has replaced the National Education Policy 1986 that is 34 years old.

Aim of the New Education Policy 2020

This new policy has the aim of universalizing education from pre-school to secondary level. It plans to do that with a 100% GRE (Gross Enrollment Ratio) in schooling. The plan is to achieve it by 2030.

This essay on new education policy 2020 will highlight the changes brought in by this new policy. Firstly, the policy proposes to open Indian higher education in foreign universities.

It aims to introduce a four-year multidisciplinary undergraduate program with various exit options. Thus, this new policy will strive to make the country of India a global knowledge superpower.

Advantages and Disadvantages of New Education Policy 2020

The policy gives an advantage to students of classes 10 and 12 by making the board exams easier. In other words, it plans to test the core competencies instead of mere memorization of facts.

It will allow all the students to take the exam twice. Further, it proposes that an independent authority will be responsible for regulating both public and private schools . Similarly, the policy aims to diminish any severe separation between the educational streams and vocational streams in the schools.

There will also be no rigid division between extra-curriculum. Vocational education will begin at class sixth with an internship. Now, the essay on new education policy 2020 will tell you about the disadvantages of the policy.

Firstly, it can make the education system expensive. Meaning to say, admission to foreign universities will probably result in this. Further, it will create a lack of human resources.

If we look at the present elementary education, we notice that there is a lack of skilled teachers. Thus, keeping this in mind, the National Education Policy 2020 can give rise to practical problems in implementing the system that is for elementary education.

Finally, there is also the drawback of the exodus of teachers. In other words, admission to foreign universities will ultimately result in our skilled teachers migrating to those universities.

To conclude the essay on New Education Policy 2020, we can say that this policy is an essential initiative to help in the all-around development of our society and country as a whole. However, the implementation of this policy will greatly determine its success.
