dear friends

14th Session of 15th Lok Sabha

The Fourteenth Session of the current 15th Lok Sabha (Monsoon Session) was held between 5th August 2013 to 6th September 2013 with 21 sittings. 15th Lok Sabha commenced the business on 4th June 2009 and has till now has held 14 sessions with 335 sittings.

Total performance of 15th Lok Sabha

Till the end of Monsoon Session 2013, Lok Sabha has worked effectively and transacted business for 1321 hours and 34 minutes. 799 hours 38 minutes was lost in disruptions and forced adjournments. In view of the adjournments, the Lok Sabha worked for 273 hours and 12 minutes extra, beyond the scheduled time, to compensate the loss of time. Nearly 43% of Lok Sabha time was lost due to disruptions in the current 15th Lok Sabha (all 14 sessions) and a portion of lost time was compensated with extra sitting.

Business transacted during the 15th Lok Sabha

202 bills were introduced in the 15th Lok Sabha so far and 171 bills have been passed.

3741 matters have been taken up by the Members of Lok Sabha under Rule 377 (matters of urgent public importance). 3208 matters of urgent public importance have been taken up during Zero Hour.

683 Standing Committee reports were submitted to Lok Sabha.

Duties of Parliament Members

The Members of Parliament are required to participate in the debates, raise matters of public interest, ask questions of public importance, introduce private members bills and to participate in the sessions (attendance). We can adjudge the performance of the MPs, based on their performance in the House. Lok Sabha Secretariat and PRS India provide the complete data relating to individual MPs.

Top performing MPs in participation of debates

The following MPs secure the top 3 positions for participation in debates, as per the data released by PRS India. (from the 1st session till the end of monsoon session 2013 of the current 15th Lok Sabha).

Top performing MPs for introducing Private Members Bills

In the current Lok Sabha, so far 372 Private Members Bills have been introduced. Private Members Bills is an important provision given in the Lok Sabha rules, to enable the members to share valuable bills, beyond party line. If the bills are worthy, the Government itself will work on that and introduce as a Government Bill. The recent Land Acquisition bill is the outcome of a private bill introduced by Mr Hansraj G Ahir (BJP MP from Maharashtra) in both 14th and the 15th Lok Sabha. The top 3 performers are:

1. Mr Hansraj G Ahir (BJP MP Maharashtra) - 31 bills

2. Mr Jai Prakash Agarwal (Congress MP Delhi) - 23 bills

3. Mr Arjun Ram Meghwal (BJP MP Rajasthan) - 20 bills

Since introduction of Private Members Bills involves more home work, only 84 MPs have introduced 372 such bills. Of this 84 also, only 11 MPs have introduced more than 10 bills. These 11 MPs have introduced 165 bills.

[India_Vision_2020] Two MPs take up the cause of Eduction Loan in Parliament [1 Attachment]

India Vision 202012:32 PM No comments

[Attachment(s) from Education Loan Task Force ELTF included below]

dear all

Mr Hansraj Gangaram Ahir, BJP MP from Maharashtra (whistle blower of coal scam and thorium scam) and Mr Thamaraiselvan, DMK MP from Tamil Nadu have taken up the cause of Education Loan in Parliament separately. They are the active supporters of Education Loan Task Force (ELTF), an initiative of Action 2020 and India Vision 2020 groups. Through ELTF, we have been creating public awareness about education loan. Wherever genuine meritorious poor students are harassed by banks, we also take up with the concerned Bank Chairman and with RBI for redressal of grievances. Generally, public sector banks resolve the grievances within 24 to 48 hours. Private Banks never care for any grievances from poor people.

Mr Thamaraiselvan MP has taken up in Lok Sabha as a 'matter of public importance under Rule 377' on 3rd Sep 2013, the issue of interest subsidy. Though Government of India provides 100% interest subsidy, many of the Banks do not pass on this 100% subsidy to the students and also demand interest payment from the students, thereby defeating the very purpose of the education loan. The students eligible under interest subsidy need not pay any interest till the end of moratorium period. Since many of the Regional Managers and the Branch Managers do nt know the rules, they force the students to pay interest, in spite of their eligibility under interest subsidy. ELTF has also taken up with RBI several times. (Please read the attachment for the text of the submission made by the MP in Lok Sabha)

Mr Hansraj Gangaram Ahir MP has personally handed over a two page letter (attached) to Hon'ble Prime Minister today, on the various problems faced by the poor students. Some of the issues brought to the notice of Prime Minister are delay in processing the loans, collection of interest during the study period in spite of interest subsidy, fixing short repayment period to the students causing financial tension, lack of relationship between the banks and the student borrowers, insisting on higher minimum marks from rural students, etc.

These two MPs have taken up the cause of education loan, because of the request from Education Loan Task Force. ELTF thanks them for their patient hearing, understanding the problems of poor students and taking up with the Government through Lok Sabha.
