Parliament Diary

Budget Session 2022 : Day 14 : March 21, 2022

In Lok Sabha, discussion on the Demands for Grants for the Ministry of Road, Transport and Highways continued today. 

Earlier during the Question Hour, a member pointed out that against an estimated 3% of children having special needs, only about 0.5% have been brought into the school system. In response, the Education Minister assured the House that the government would explore technological solutions to help differently-abled students access education. 

Also during the Question Hour, a Member requested the quota of 10 seats in Kendriya Vidyalayas that can be filled on the recommendation of MPs to be abolished. Stating that an MP on average represents 35-40 lakh people, the Member said that MPs are inundated with requests. However, another Member stated that quota is crucial for areas with fewer schools. The Education Minister informed the House that the opinion of all party leaders would be taken and a decision will be taken on its basis.

Rajya Sabha adjourned about 10 minutes before the end of the Zero Hour as the Chairperson informed the House that all submissions were exhausted. Later in the day, discussion on two Appropriation Bills was taken up. These seek to approve the government's supplementary budget for 2021-22 and excess demands for grants for 2018-19. 

At the time of updating this post, the Finance Minister was responding to the discussion in Rajya Sabha. In Lok Sabha, discussion on the Demands for Grants had not concluded.

The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas informed Rajya Sabha that the per capita consumption of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) beneficiaries has increased from 3.01 refills in 2019-20, to 4.39 in 2020-21, to 3.66 refills in 2021-22 (till Feb 2022). The number of per-capita refills in 2021-22 ranged from 6.28 in Pondicherry to 1.82 in Chhattisgarh.

The Ministry of Education informed Lok Sabha that as per All India Survey on Higher Education 2019-20, the total numbers of female students enrolled at various levels (UG, PG, M.Phil & Ph.D) of higher education in STEM fields across the country is 43,65,928. Out of this, 41,296 females are enrolled in Ph.D.
