Productivity  of  the  15th  Lok  Sabha    

There  has  been  a  steady  decline  in  the  number  of  sitting  days  and  working  hours  of   Parliament.  As  indicated  in  the  graph,  the  lower  house  during  the  14th  and  15th  Lok  Sabha   has  met  for  a  lower  number  of  days  and  hours  compared  to  the  1st  and  2nd  Lok  Sabha.   From  1952  to  1967,  each  of  the  three  Lok  Sabhas  sat  for  an  average  of  600  days  and  more   than  3700  hours.  In  comparison,  the  15th  Lok  Sabha  from  2009  till  2013  has  met  for  345   days  and  1331  hours.

Sitting Days

Lesser  legislative  time  results  in  a  larger  proportion  of  Bills  getting  passed  without  adequate   scrutiny  and  debate  in  the  House.  In  the  15th  Lok  Sabha,  35%  of  the  total  Bills  passed  were   debated  for  an  hour  or  less.  These  include  Bills  with  significant  implications,  such  as  the   Protection  of  Women  from  Sexual  Harassment  at  the  Work  Place  Bill,  2011  which  was   passed  earlier  this  year  by  Lok  Sabha  in  20  minutes.
