He said it will help the legislators understand parliamentary procedures, legislative drafting, and the significance of meaningful debates, enabling them to participate effectively in the house.
The Parliamentary Research and Training Institute for Democracies (PRIDE) will conduct the training sessions, offering insights into parliamentary rules and legislative practices.
PRIDE, under the guidance of the Lok Sabha Speaker, organises training sessions for MPs, legislative staff, and other stakeholders.
The inaugural session will witness the presence of several distinguished dignitaries, including Speaker Vijender Gupta, Deputy Speaker Mohan Singh Bist, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, and Leader of Opposition Atishi.

These sessions will cover key topics such as constitutional responsibilities, ethical governance, and law-making procedures.
The programme will conclude on March 19, with an address by the Minister for Legislative Affairs, followed by the closing remarks of the assembly speaker.
