Education & Training for Parliamentarians: A Pathway to Effective Governance

Author(s) Tapas Sarkar
Country India
Abstract The Indian Parliament is a cornerstone of the country’s democracy, embodying its constitutional ethos and democratic values. This article explores the historical trajectory and evolution of the Indian Parliament, tracing its roots from ancient Indian assemblies to its current bicameral structure. The discussion highlights the influence of colonial legislative councils, the framing of the Constitution, and the transformations post-independence. By examining these stages, the paper underscores how historical, political, and socio-economic forces have shaped the Parliament as a dynamic institution. Education plays a pivotal role in shaping competent leaders who can steer governance and policy-making effectively. In India, where parliamentary decisions impact over 1.4 billion citizens, the necessity for parliamentarians to possess a minimum level of formal education has been a matter of ongoing debate. This research article examines the significance of education for members of the Indian Parliament, exploring how it influences their legislative performance, ethical governance and ability to engage with complex socio-economic issues. Through an analysis of existing literature, comparative international practices and case studies, the paper underscores the role of education in ensuring accountability, inclusivity and informed decision-making in democratic governance. Recommendations for educational reforms and training programmes aimed at enhancing the competencies of Indian parliamentarians are also proposed. Parliamentarians play a pivotal role in the legislative, deliberative, and oversight functions essential for a thriving democracy. In India, with its complex socio-economic challenges and diverse population, the responsibilities of Members of Parliament (MPs) are particularly demanding. This paper highlights the need for systematic and comprehensive training programmes for Indian parliamentarians, outlines existing training facilities, and provides recommendations for improvement. By analysing current training initiatives and comparing them with international best practices, the article underscores the importance of equipping legislators with skills and knowledge for effective governance.
