hi
Sansad Ratna Team is pleased to announce the 'Sansad Ratna 2014' Awards for top performing Lok Sabha Members to be presented on Saturday the 15th February 2014 at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras.
Shri Karia Munda ji, Hon'ble Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha has kindly agreed to be the Chief Guest and to present the Awards.
Generally, voters do not have proper awareness about the duties of Parliamentarians. They expect the Parliamentarians to get employment or transfer for their relatives; involve themselves in the local duties like panchayat presidents. As per the founders of Indian constitution, the Parliament members have to make laws, supervise the government functions, discuss the budget and take up the problems of voters. All the Parliament members are expected to participate in debates, introduce private members bills, raise questions and to attend the House regularly.
In the earlier years, the awards were presented to the toppers under (a) debates (b) private members bills and (c) questions. The purpose of honouring the top performers is to create awareness about the functioning of the Parliament among the people and to encourage the performers to do much better.
15th Lok Sabha started functioning on 1st June 2009 and the regular business started on 4th June 2009. Till 18th Dec 2013, this Lok Sabha conducted 15 Sessions with 345 sittings. Though the correct data is yet to be released, it is estimated that nearly 40% of the Lok Sabha was lost due to disruptions and forced adjournments.
The team has decided to honour all the Lok Sabha Members with a total tally of 1000 and above (Debates +private bills + Questions) during the 5 years period. As per the data released by PRS India up to 18th December 2013 covering the entire 15th Lok Sabha, the following 9 Members become eligible for 'Sansad Ratna 2014' Awards.
9 MPs who are getting Sansad Ratna Awards for the overall performance in the 15th Lok Sabha.
