Parliamentary standing committees<\/strong> (referred to as the standing committee<\/strong>) pertaining to ministers\/departments are established by the houses. Currently, there are 24 departmental “related parliamentary standing committees<\/strong>. Each standing committee<\/strong> comprises a maximum of 45 members\u201430 from the Lok Sabha<\/strong> and 15 from the Rajya Sabha<\/strong>. Ministers are ineligible for nomination to these committees, and the term of office for each standing committee<\/strong> is one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary functions of these committees are to scrutinize the demand for grants<\/strong> of the respective Ministries or Departments<\/strong> before discussions and voting take place in the Lok Sabha<\/strong>. Simultaneously, there are five existing parliamentary forums<\/strong>, with the first one on water conservation<\/strong> formed in 2005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parliamentary forums<\/strong> operate independently and do not intrude upon the jurisdiction of the related departmental standing committees<\/strong>. Members for these forums are nominated by the Speaker of the Lok Sabha<\/strong> and the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha<\/strong>. Each forum comprises a maximum of 31 members (excluding the President<\/strong> and Ex-officio Vice-Presidents<\/strong>), with up to 21 from the Lok Sabha<\/strong> and up to 10 from the Rajya Sabha<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary purpose behind forming parliamentary forums<\/strong> is to establish a platform for members to engage in interaction and discussions with relevant ministers, experts<\/strong>, and key officials. This initiative aims for a result-oriented approach to expedite the implementation process of critical issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
