Indian Parliamentary Group

Indian Parliamentary Group

The Indian Parliamentary Group is an autonomous body, membership of which is open to all current or former members of the Indian Parliament. It was founded in 1949, following a Motion adopted by the Constituent Assembly on August 16, 1948. Its declared aims are to promote contact between Members of the Parliament; study questions of national importance and arrange seminars and lectures to better inform MPs; and arranging visits to foreign countries (admittance into such delegations is reserved for MPs who have been members of the group for over 6 months). A link between the Indian Parliament and its foreign counterparts, the group functions as the National Group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), and the Main Branch of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) in India.

The Indian Parliamentary Group awards the Outstanding Parliamentarian Award.
