On the suggestion of Haryana Vidhan Sabha Speaker Sh. Harvinder Kalyan, the Lok Sabha Secretariat will prepare a short-term course to develop the skills of employees of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha. On the basis of this course, the training of employees will be conducted in a more comprehensive manner in the future.
Encouraged by the success of the two-day employee capacity building programme organized in Chandigarh for the employees of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha, Speaker Sh. Harvinder Kalyan has planned to expand these training programmes. In this regard, he held a meeting with senior officials of the Lok Sabha Secretariat immediately after the programme. During the meeting, along with reviewing the programme, point-wise discussion was held to make it more comprehensive in future.
During a discussion with senior officials, including Lok Sabha's Director of Parliamentary Research and Training Institute for Democracies (PRIDE) Juby Amar and Deputy Secretary Sunil Minocha, it was decided that short-term courses should be prepared to enhance the work skills of the employees of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha.
The Speaker said the employees have not only been trained well but have also been encouraged to work with new energy with the way the subjects were presented in the two-day programme. It is necessary that this enthusiasm should remain intact, he added. He said the employees have shown a lot of interest in learning the nuances of file work related to noting and drafting. Kalyan said the subjects related to office procedure, record management and manuals are of utmost importance.
In the changing perspective, we have to work more on this. There is a need to work extensively on the functioning of committees in future training programmes. He said although the reports of study tours of committees in Haryana Legislative Assembly are being prepared in a legal manner, there is a need to make their drafting more meaningful and useful.
Sh. Kalyan said in the future training sessions, special attention will be paid to the drafting of questions coming for the Question Hour. The role of Research and Reference Division of the Legislative Assembly will also be enhanced. With this, the members will be able to get information about their work at a fast pace.
It is also necessary to improve the functioning of the legal cell. Similarly, special courses should be prepared on the work of the establishment branch and following protocol and etiquette while dealing with the members. Security has always been a serious issue. High standards of security have been implemented in the Indian Parliament.
Training on security will not only facilitate the entry of visitors, there will also be no apprehension of any anti-social activities taking place, he added.
