In this episode of the Perspective Prog. based on ‘Rajya Sabha Day’. The Upper House of the Parliament, Rajya Sabha was constituted on 3rd April 1952 and the first session was held on 13th May 1952. Since then it has contributed to the welfare and progress of the country in many ways. Also known as the Council of States, a nomenclature was announced by the chair in the House on the 23rd of August, 1954. Rajya Sabha has its own distinctive features and reflects the federal character of our polity and protects the rights of States. The origin of the second Chamber can be traced to the Montague-Chelmsford Report of 1918. An extensive debate took place in the Constituent Assembly regarding the utility or otherwise of a Second Chamber in Independent India and ultimately, it was decided to have a bicameral legislature for independent India mainly because a federal system was considered to be most feasible form of Government for such a vast country with immense diversities. In its glorious journey so far Rajya Sabha has passed several important legislations related to Social change, economic transformation, agriculture, health, education, environment, Science and Technology, National Security and matters related to states. We will discuss and analyse the journey, significance and achievements of the Upper House of Parliament – Rajya Sabha.
