The Union Parliament of India, the supreme legislative body of the country, is characterized by its bicameral structure, comprising the Lok Sabha (House of the People) and the Rajya Sabha (Council of States). This structure facilitates a second look at legislation and represents the interests of the states at the union level. The role and functioning of the Parliament are multifaceted, extending beyond mere law-making. Its primary role is legislative, involving the deliberation and passing of bills. Another critical function is financial, as it exercises control over the government's finances through the budget process and authorization of expenditure. Furthermore, Parliament performs a vital executive oversight function, holding the government accountable through mechanisms like question hour, motions, and debates. To manage its extensive and complex workload efficiently, Parliament relies heavily on a system of Parliamentary Committees. These committees, often called 'miniature legislatures,' are forums where bills, budgetary grants, and matters of public policy are scrutinized in a detailed, non-partisan, and expert manner. They allow for in-depth examination of issues away from the public glare of the house, thereby enhancing the quality and effectiveness of parliamentary work and reinforcing its accountability function.
