The Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) scheduled a meeting on September 11 to examine the Viksit Bharat Bill, as reported by Hindustan Times.
New Delhi – The Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) has set September 11 as the date for its next session to scrutinise the Viksit Bharat Bill. The bill, aimed at outlining a roadmap for India's development, was introduced in Parliament earlier this year and has attracted attention from various political quarters. The JPC, comprising members from both houses, will examine the bill's provisions, seek expert inputs and prepare a report for the government. No further details on the agenda or the list of participants have been released yet.
The Viksit Bharat Bill seeks to consolidate policies across sectors such as infrastructure, education and health, with the objective of accelerating socio‑economic progress. Proponents argue that a unified legislative framework will streamline implementation, while critics have called for greater fiscal prudence.
Stakeholders, including industry bodies and civil‑society groups, are expected to submit their observations before the committee convenes. The JPC's findings will be presented to the Union Cabinet, which will decide on any amendments before the bill moves to the next legislative stage.
