PRS Legislative Research seeks to strengthen the legislative process in India by making it better informed, more transparent and participatory.

PRS Legislative Research (PRS) was founded in 2005 as an independent research initiative. PRS works with Members of Parliament (MPs) across party lines to provide research support on legislative and policy issues.  PRS is one of the only organisations in India that track the functioning of Parliament. PRS provides a comprehensive and credible resource base to access Parliament-specific data, background information and analysis of key issues.

This blog intends to:  (1) generate debate on all issues that relate to the Indian Parliament and the legislative process, and (2) widen the spread of information on the working of Parliament and related institutions.

    In the PRS website, ‘know your MP’ section, there seems to be no mention of Trinamool Congress in the dropdown menu. how is PRS tracking the facts of the largest coalition partner of UPA-2?

      The MP Track Section contains the name of All India Trinamool Congress in the list of political parties.

    When is the winter session of parliament beginning? Under the upcoming event tab on the PRS web site, the due dates of the sessions should be indicated.

    Also, will the bills which were pending in the Monsoon session of the parliament be automatically taken up in the winter session?
