A VISIT TO PARLIAMENT HOUSE

 On 18th, 19th and 22nd December, 2014, students of classes 9 and 10 visited the Parliament House along with their teachers where they got a lifetime opportunity to see Indian democracy at work. The excitement was palpable, the curiosity overflowing and the questions endless. As the tour started, after ample frisking and checking at every entry point, the serenity of this stately institute swept us all to watch Lok Sabha in action on all the three days.

 The chamber of Lok Sabha is adorned with a green carpet – to signify grass root politicians – we were told. We looked down from the visitor’s gallery, and saw the place where India is run from. Students observed the smallest details- and had a hundred questions ranging from the emblems of the princely states to the seating arrangements.

The students absorbed history with every breath, and learnt about their unit with every step. Children went through several security checks and got the clearance.The controversy among politicians centred on whether e-rickshaws should be allowed to ply on the streets of Delhi or not, implementation of MNREGA, and conversion issues during the afternoon session of the Lok Sabha where our students listened to UnionTransport minister, Mr. Nitin Gadkari, Manohar Parrikar, Venkaiah Naidu and other parliamertarians including L. K. Advani, Paresh Rawal, Pappu Yadav, Ranjeeta Yadav,etc.  They watched the MPs raising issues, demanding answers; slogans and voices getting drowned in the din.

At noon, when both Houses got back to work, the Parliamentary Affairs Minister assured the Opposition that the controversies had worried the government as well.  "We are open to an inquiry and try to find out solutions," said Venkaiah Naidu. 

This was a big achievement for the students who tried recounting the famous personalities they saw in the House.The students were satisfied and they won't forget this trip in a long time.
