All of you would agree that this could have been better given our mission for the nation. Better late than never. It is time now to be different and better. Naidu, whose remarks were disrupted by slogan shouting by Congress MPs seeking discussions on rising prices, said he would give a detailed account of the functioning of the Rajya Sabha during the last five years on his last day in office. I would like to remind all of you that this is the last session in the 75th year of our hard-fought Independence that is being celebrated across the country. As in the case of all the last 13 sessions that I presided over, I would like to fervently appeal to all of you to give out your best performance to make this session a memorable one, particularly in the context of its significance, he said. He said he expected the session to set the right tone for the functioning of the House over the next 25 years of 'Amrit Kaal', which is a critical period to take India to an entirely new plane. Since my assumption of office five years ago, we have so far gathered together for 13 full sessions and this is the 14th such occasion. This journey of five years has been quite a learning experience for me, he said. Dealing with about 245 members of this august House from over 30 political parties with different minds, inclinations and political ideologies is quite revealing and even a testing experience. Naidu said he tried his best to draw the best out of everyone. The credit for the positives if any would go to all of you. And if my best efforts were short of your expectations, I would not hesitate to take responsibility for the same, he said. Naidu said he expects all to be propelled by the spirit of 'New India' so the nation makes up for missed time and opportunities. This spirit shall also inspire all other stakeholders, he said. Our population will increase by about 20 crore when independent India turns 100 years. The challenges and opportunities that come with it need to be addressed with a long-term vision and imagination. The Parliament of India has to play a pivotal role in shaping a bright future. Members of Parliament need to rise to the occasion, he said. Referring to the working of parliamentary committees, he said seven of the eight department related parliamentary standing committees of Rajya Sabha held a total of 29 meetings. The average duration of these meetings has been over two hours and the average attendance 46 per cent. I am happy to note the improving performance of these committees, he said. The Committee on Education clocked the highest average duration of 3.22 hours for five of its meetings. The Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances and Law and Justice reported having met for 2.15 hours for each of the five meetings. The Committee on Health and Family Welfare also clocked about two hours for each of its six meetings. The Committees on Transport, Tourism and Culture besides Education and Science and Technology reported an average attendance of more than 50 per cent per meeting. I compliment the chairmen and members of these five Committees for their commendable efforts, Naidu said. He felicitated 71 MPs who have been either re-elected or elected in the recent elections. Of these, 14 have been re-elected while 57 have entered the House for the first time. While the re-elected seniors provide continuity, the new members bring in fresh perspectives and dynamism, he said. Naidu also welcomed the four nominated members -- P T Usha, Ilayaraaja, Vijayendra Prasad and Veerendra Heggade.

These are also the qualities that are expected to mark the functioning of this august House. All sections should collectively endeavour to ensure reflection of such traits in the functioning of this august House, he said. Naidu said it was a matter of pride that the country created history by reaching the milestone of administering 200 crore Covid-19 vaccinations across the country. This amounts to 97 per cent first dose coverage and 90 per cent of the adult population receiving both the doses. This is a remarkable achievement, he said.

The ‘Council of States’, Rajya Sabha plays a critical role in enabling states to have a voice in drafting legislation. The Rajya Sabha has a maximum strength of 250 members, 238 of whom represent the states and Union Territories. Twelve others are nominated by the President. These 12 members come from the fields of art, literature, science and social service. ,Election of Rajya Sabha members ,Members of the Rajya Sabha are elected through proportional representation by members of state legislative assemblies. The votes are cast through a single transferable vote system. The number of votes for every state are not uniform. They depend on the population of a particular state. ,Therefore, Uttar Pradesh, which is India’s largest state population-wise, has 31 seats in the Rajya Sabha. Goa, India’s smallest state in terms of population, has just one seat. ,Meanwhile, representatives of Union Territories to the Rajya Sabha through an electoral college. Why is Rajya Sabha a permanent house? ,The Rajya Sabha is a permanent house because it’s a house that doesn’t dissolve, unlike the Lok Sabha, which dissolves every five years in normal circumstances. In the Rajya Sabha, members have a term of six years and a one-third of members retire every two years. Fresh elections are held for vacant seats at the beginning of the third year. ,Who runs the Rajya Sabha? ,The Rajya Sabha is chaired by the Vice-President of India. The vice-president is the ‘ex-officio chairman’ of the Upper House. However, day-to-day business of the Rajya Sabha is often run by the Deputy Chairman who is elected from among members of the Rajya Sabha. ,Who leads the Rajya Sabha? ,In a similar manner to the Lok Sabha, or Lower House, the Rajya Sabha is led by a minister and a member of the House nominated by the prime minister. ,Who can become a member of the Rajya Sabha? ,To become a member of the Rajya Sabha, one must be an Indian citizen, must be above 30 years of age and be registered as an elector in a parliamentary constituency.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"28.6139","longitude":"77.209","name":"New Delhi, Delhi, India","city":"Delhi"},"keywords":"Rajya Sabha,India,the Upper House,the Lok Sabha,the Indian Parliament,The ‘Council of States’,Union Territories,Lower House,House,Indian","originalPublishedOn":"2022-05-31T14:20:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"gMWw5865ucMJ","slug":"english/who-is-manik-saha","slugV2":"india/who-is-manik-saha-317187/","title":"Who is Manik Saha?","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_nXQGWNLzY.jpg","coverCaption":"Manik Saha is also the president of the Tripura Cricket Association.

He also spoke about the need to avoid disruptions in the house and called upon the media to report both sides of the parliament. “Don’t just report disruptions, please also report constructive discussions.”,Mallikharjun Kharge, the Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, said the Upper House is a chamber of ideas. ,Here is the full list of Rajya Sabha MPs retiring from Parliament in 2022, according to the Rajya Sabha website: ,1.
