Parliament Monsoon Session begins on July 20
It should be mentioned here that the Parliament Monsoon Session started on Thursday and will continue till August 11 comprising of 17 sittings. According to reports, as many as 31 bills will be taken up during the session.
During the session, the government is likely to bring a bill to replace the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Ordinance. The Ordinance effectively nullified the Supreme Court judgment that gave the Delhi government greater legislative and administrative control over “services” matters. The National Research Foundation Bill, cleared by the Union Cabinet, is also likely to be introduced. The proposed foundation will be a new funding agency to bolster the country’s research competence in areas of science and technology.
