&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The monsoon session that ends on Friday will enter the hall of shame as the second least productive session of the 15th Parliament with legislators having worked for only a quarter of the scheduled time.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Only four bills were passed in the month-long session leaving a backlog of more than 100 pending legislations, some as old as 25 years old.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to data analysed by PRS Legislative Research, Lok Sabha worked for 22% of the scheduled time while Rajya Sabha was marginally better with members transacting business for 29% of the total time.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The worst session of this Parliament was the winter of 2010, when just 3% of the scheduled time could be utilized.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Legislative business has suffered due to frequent logjams. Since 2009, one in every five bills has been passed with discussion of less than five minutes on the floor of the House. A similar trend continued in the monsoon session when on September 4, Lok Sabha cleared three bills within 20 minutes.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
These included the National Highways Authority of India (amendment) Bill 2011, the North-Eastern Areas (reorganization) Amendment Bill 2011 and the Protection of Women from Sexual Harassment at Workplace Bill 2010.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Among the four bills that have been passed by both Houses in this session are the Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development Bill 2011, the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro-Sciences, Bangalore Bill 2010, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (amendment) Bill 2012 to replace an ordinance and the Chemical Weapons Convention (amendment) Bill.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Parliament session, scheduled from August 8 to September 7, was expected to meet for 20 sittings with the agenda listing 29 pending bills for consideration.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The government had planned to introduce 15 new bills. However, while initially proceedings were disrupted over the violence in Assam and concern over exodus of Northeast students, the latter half has been washed off with BJP&#039;s adamant stand demanding PM Manmohan Singh&#039;s resignation over Coalgate.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
So far, the least productive year for Parliament has been 2004, when only 18 bills were passed. So far, during the budget and monsoon sessions, Parliament has passed 16 bills in 2012. How the winter session goes is anybody&#039;s guess.&amp;nbsp;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The monsoon session that ends on Friday will enter the hall of shame as the second least productive session of the 15th Parliament with legislators having worked for only a quarter of the scheduled time.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Only four bills were passed in the month-long session leaving a backlog of more than 100 pending legislations, some as old as 25 years old.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to data analysed by PRS Legislative Research, Lok Sabha worked for 22% of the scheduled time while Rajya Sabha was marginally better with members transacting business for 29% of the total time.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The worst session of this Parliament was the winter of 2010, when just 3% of the scheduled time could be utilized.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Legislative business has suffered due to frequent logjams. Since 2009, one in every five bills has been passed with discussion of less than five minutes on the floor of the House. A similar trend continued in the monsoon session when on September 4, Lok Sabha cleared three bills within 20 minutes.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
These included the National Highways Authority of India (amendment) Bill 2011, the North-Eastern Areas (reorganization) Amendment Bill 2011 and the Protection of Women from Sexual Harassment at Workplace Bill 2010.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Among the four bills that have been passed by both Houses in this session are the Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development Bill 2011, the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro-Sciences, Bangalore Bill 2010, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (amendment) Bill 2012 to replace an ordinance and the Chemical Weapons Convention (amendment) Bill.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Parliament session, scheduled from August 8 to September 7, was expected to meet for 20 sittings with the agenda listing 29 pending bills for consideration.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The government had planned to introduce 15 new bills. However, while initially proceedings were disrupted over the violence in Assam and concern over exodus of Northeast students, the latter half has been washed off with BJP&#039;s adamant stand demanding PM Manmohan Singh&#039;s resignation over Coalgate.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
So far, the least productive year for Parliament has been 2004, when only 18 bills were passed. So far, during the budget and monsoon sessions, Parliament has passed 16 bills in 2012. How the winter session goes is anybody&#039;s guess.&amp;nbsp;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The monsoon session that ends on Friday will enter the hall of shame as the second least productive session of the 15th Parliament with legislators having worked for only a quarter of the scheduled time.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Only four bills were passed in the month-long session leaving a backlog of more than 100 pending legislations, some as old as 25 years old.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to data analysed by PRS Legislative Research, Lok Sabha worked for 22% of the scheduled time while Rajya Sabha was marginally better with members transacting business for 29% of the total time.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The worst session of this Parliament was the winter of 2010, when just 3% of the scheduled time could be utilized.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Legislative business has suffered due to frequent logjams. Since 2009, one in every five bills has been passed with discussion of less than five minutes on the floor of the House. A similar trend continued in the monsoon session when on September 4, Lok Sabha cleared three bills within 20 minutes.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
These included the National Highways Authority of India (amendment) Bill 2011, the North-Eastern Areas (reorganization) Amendment Bill 2011 and the Protection of Women from Sexual Harassment at Workplace Bill 2010.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Among the four bills that have been passed by both Houses in this session are the Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development Bill 2011, the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro-Sciences, Bangalore Bill 2010, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (amendment) Bill 2012 to replace an ordinance and the Chemical Weapons Convention (amendment) Bill.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Parliament session, scheduled from August 8 to September 7, was expected to meet for 20 sittings with the agenda listing 29 pending bills for consideration.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The government had planned to introduce 15 new bills. However, while initially proceedings were disrupted over the violence in Assam and concern over exodus of Northeast students, the latter half has been washed off with BJP&#039;s adamant stand demanding PM Manmohan Singh&#039;s resignation over Coalgate.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
So far, the least productive year for Parliament has been 2004, when only 18 bills were passed. So far, during the budget and monsoon sessions, Parliament has passed 16 bills in 2012. How the winter session goes is anybody&#039;s guess.&amp;nbsp;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The monsoon session that ends on Friday will enter the hall of shame as the second least productive session of the 15th Parliament with legislators having worked for only a quarter of the scheduled time.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Only four bills were passed in the month-long session leaving a backlog of more than 100 pending legislations, some as old as 25 years old.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to data analysed by PRS Legislative Research, Lok Sabha worked for 22% of the scheduled time while Rajya Sabha was marginally better with members transacting business for 29% of the total time.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The worst session of this Parliament was the winter of 2010, when just 3% of the scheduled time could be utilized.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Legislative business has suffered due to frequent logjams. Since 2009, one in every five bills has been passed with discussion of less than five minutes on the floor of the House. A similar trend continued in the monsoon session when on September 4, Lok Sabha cleared three bills within 20 minutes.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
These included the National Highways Authority of India (amendment) Bill 2011, the North-Eastern Areas (reorganization) Amendment Bill 2011 and the Protection of Women from Sexual Harassment at Workplace Bill 2010.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Among the four bills that have been passed by both Houses in this session are the Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development Bill 2011, the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro-Sciences, Bangalore Bill 2010, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (amendment) Bill 2012 to replace an ordinance and the Chemical Weapons Convention (amendment) Bill.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Parliament session, scheduled from August 8 to September 7, was expected to meet for 20 sittings with the agenda listing 29 pending bills for consideration.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The government had planned to introduce 15 new bills. However, while initially proceedings were disrupted over the violence in Assam and concern over exodus of Northeast students, the latter half has been washed off with BJP&#039;s adamant stand demanding PM Manmohan Singh&#039;s resignation over Coalgate.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
So far, the least productive year for Parliament has been 2004, when only 18 bills were passed. So far, during the budget and monsoon sessions, Parliament has passed 16 bills in 2012. How the winter session goes is anybody&#039;s guess.&amp;nbsp;

75% of Parliament time wasted, second worst session clocked-Himanshi Dhawan

-The Economic Times The monsoon session that ends on Friday will enter the hall of shame as the second least productive session of the 15th Parliament with legislators having worked for only a quarter of the scheduled time. Only four bills were passed in the month-long session leaving a backlog of more than 100 pending legislations, some as old as 25 years old. According to data analysed by PRS Legislative Research, Lok Sabha worked for 22% of the scheduled time while Rajya Sabha was marginally better with members transacting business for 29% of the total time. The worst session of this Parliament was the winter of 2010, when just 3% of the scheduled time could be utilized. Legislative business has suffered due to frequent logjams. Since 2009, one in every five bills has been passed with discussion of less than five minutes on the floor of the House. A similar trend continued in the monsoon session when on September 4, Lok Sabha cleared three bills within 20 minutes. These included the National Highways Authority of India (amendment) Bill 2011, the North-Eastern Areas (reorganization) Amendment Bill 2011 and the Protection of Women from Sexual Harassment at Workplace Bill 2010. Among the four bills that have been passed by both Houses in this session are the Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development Bill 2011, the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro-Sciences, Bangalore Bill 2010, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (amendment) Bill 2012 to replace an ordinance and the Chemical Weapons Convention (amendment) Bill. The Parliament session, scheduled from August 8 to September 7, was expected to meet for 20 sittings with the agenda listing 29 pending bills for consideration. The government had planned to introduce 15 new bills. However, while initially proceedings were disrupted over the violence in Assam and concern over exodus of Northeast students, the latter half has been washed off with BJP's adamant stand demanding PM Manmohan Singh's resignation over Coalgate. So far, the least productive year for Parliament has been 2004, when only 18 bills were passed. So far, during the budget and monsoon sessions, Parliament has passed 16 bills in 2012. How the winter session goes is anybody's guess.
