The Speaker of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly, Vasudev Devnani, revealed that a group of 43 participants from 17 countries, including Bangladesh, Bhutan, Ghana, Kenya, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, and Zambia, will be visiting the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly on Saturday. This visit is part of the 37th International Training Programme focusing on “International Legislative Drafting” organized by the Parliamentary Research and Training Institute for Democracies (PRIDE) under the Lok Sabha Secretariat.
Devnani highlighted that the program, conducted under the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) scheme of the Ministry of External Affairs, aims to improve the legislative drafting skills of foreign participants. As part of the initiative, the visiting delegation will explore the Assembly Hall, Legislative Assembly building, and the Political Narrative Museum during their visit.
The Speaker emphasized that this international exposure will showcase the State Legislature globally. Participants will receive insights into the functioning, legislative processes, and parliamentary traditions of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly. Additionally, they will engage with Presiding Officers, the Assembly Secretary, legal experts, dignitaries, and visit various legal institutions within the state.
Furthermore, the program includes visits to significant tourist attractions to introduce participants to Rajasthan’s cultural heritage. Devnani expressed that this initiative will offer representatives from different countries a deeper understanding of India’s democratic system and state legislative operations, fostering international knowledge exchange and strengthening parliamentary cooperation.
In a similar event earlier this year, a 120-member parliamentary delegation from 40 Commonwealth countries visited Jaipur for a two-day program.
