This year's theme is "CELEBRATE DEMOCRACY"
Shri N Gopalswami, Former Chief Election Commissioner of India has kindly consented to be the Chief Guest and 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 33% 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.
