Explation: This hour is not mentioned in the rules of procedure. It is an informal device for the members of Parliament to raise their questions without any prior notice but no one is bound to answer those questions. Alternatively, the time gap between the question hour and the agenda is known as zero hours. It is an Indian innovation in the field of Parliamentary procedures and has been in existence since 1962.



Question 6.

Write on following concepts in your own words.

Impeachment procedure


Answer:

The judges of the Supreme Court and high court and the President can be impeached by the Parliament before the expiry of their term if in any case there is the violation of the constitution by them. As per the Indian constitution, President of India can be removed in a case through his acts or actions; the constitutional norms are violated. Impeachment is first of the two stages in the process for removing a government's official without that official's agreement. Following is the procedure being followed to remove the acting President or the judges:


1. The motion for impeachment can be initiated in either of the houses. Once it is introduced, the process is carried on further.


2. The impeachment charges initiated by either of the houses should be signed by one-fourth members of the house and a 14 days' notice should be given to the official to be impeached.


3. After the resolution is passed by a majority of two-thirds of the total membership of that house, it is sent to the other house for the charges to be investigated.


4. If the other house also sustains the charges and passes the impeachment resolution by a majority of two- thirds of the total membership, then the President stands removed from his office.


In India, no President has far been impeached so far.



Question 7.

Write on following concepts in your own words.

No confidence motion


Answer:

It is mentioned under article 75 of the Indian Constitution. It says that the Council of Ministers shall be collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha. This means that the government stays in office as long as it enjoys the confidence and support of the majority.


1. It can be introduced only in the Lok Sabha. If the sabha wants to remove the ministry from the office, it can do so by passing the no-confidence motion.


2. If it is passed in the Lok Sabha, the Council of Ministers must resign from the office. It needs the support of 50 members to be admitted.


It need not state the reasons for its adoption. It is moved for ascertaining the confidence of Sabha in the Council of Ministers. It can be moved against the entire Council of Ministers only. In the case of the majority party, it has no relevance left.



Question 8.

Write on following concepts in your own words.

Jumbo ministry


Answer:

It means the large size of the ministry or the party. It is basically done to remain in power at any cost. It is done by including more and more ministers in the party or ministry. It seems a very complex procedure. This is the by-product of the wishes and desires of those politicians who are willing to do anything to remain in power. The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati expanded her cabinet by inducting 56 new ministers into it.



Question 9.

Answer in brief.

Enumerate the functions of the Council of Ministers.


Answer:

The Council of Ministers is appointed headed by the Prime Minister to aid and advise the President. It is the real executive authority. It implements the decision taken by the Cabinet. Its functions are determined by the Cabinet. Being a central executive body of the government, the council performs wide-ranging functions which make its role critical and decisive. Few functions of the council are listed below:


• It forms public policies to be executed which will lead to progress and development.


• Preparation and monitoring of legislative agenda.


• It exercises executive control over administration through appointments and rulemaking.


• It reviews the work of planning and planning commission.


• It operates funds like contingency funds of India and consolidated fund.


• It is collectively responsible to the lower house of the Parliament.


• It implements the decision taken by the cabinet.


• It helps in coordination among various ministers and other organs of the government.


• Its financial function is to manage the economy through fiscal control and operation of funds.



Question 10.

Answer in brief.

How does the Parliament keep a check on the executive?


Answer:

In the Parliamentary form of government, Executive is responsible for its policies and acts. It exercises its control in the following ways:


1. It supervises the activities of the executives with the help of committees like committee on government assurance, a committee on petitions, committees on subordinate legislation, etc.


2. The Parliament exercises control over the executive through question hour, zero hours, half an hour discussion, short duration discussion, calling attention motion, adjournment motion, no-confidence motion, censure motion, and other discussions.


3. Parliamentary control is also exercised through its power of ratification. A bill can become law only with the approval of the Parliament.


4. The ministers are collectively responsible to the Parliament in general. Each minister is individually responsible for the efficient administration of the ministry under his charge.


Thus in this way the Parliament can effectively control the executive and ensure a more responsible government.

Project
Question 1.

If you become the Prime Minister what works will you prioritize? Create a priority-wise list and present it in class.


Answer:

If I become the Prime Minister of my country there are certain works which I would prioritize as I think that they are the need of the hour.


1. At first, I would form policies which will be actually effective in removing caste system by its roots from our society. In this way, the discrimination of people on the basis of class, caste, race, gender, religion etc., can be curbed.


2. Secondly, I would ensure free and elementary education to every child in rural as well as urban areas. I will see to it that there is physical and socioeconomic access to education and there are proper infrastructural facilities for the pupil. There should not be a dearth of experienced teachers in schools.


3. My third priority would be to look at the safety of women. The necessary steps would also be taken immediately for their health. By this way, the female mortality rate can be reduced, and the sex ratio can be improved.


4. After this, I would turn towards sanitation and hygiene issue. "Cleanliness is next to godliness". Only by keeping our country clean we can reduce health issues.


5. Last but not least, I would try to eradicate poverty by generating employment opportunities for poor people. So that they can get two squares meal a day.


I would undertake all the necessary and stringent methods for the proper implementation of the above-mentioned policies.
