What is Lokpal Bill? History of Lokpal Bill

The first Lokpal Bill was passed in the 4th Lok Sabha in 1969 but could not get through in Rajya Sabha, subsequently, Lokpal bills were introduced in 1971, 1977, 1985, 1989, 1996, 1998, 2001, 2005 and in 2008, yet they were never passed and its pending. The Lokpal Bill provides for filing complaints of corruption against the prime minister, other ministers, and MPs with the ombudsman. The Administrative Reforms Commission (ARC) while recommending the constitution of Lokpal was convinced that such an institution was justified not only for removing the sense of injustice from the minds of adversely affected citizens but also necessary to instill public confidence in the efficiency of administrative machinery.

Following this, the Lokpal Bill was for the first time presented during the fourth Lok Sabha in 1968, and was passed there in 1969. However, while it was pending in the Rajya Sabha, the Lok Sabha was dissolved, resulting the first death of the bill. The bill was revived in 1971, 1977, 1985, 1989, 1996, 1998, 2001, 2005 and most recently in 2008. Each time, after the bill was introduced to the house, it was referred to some committee for improvements -- a joint committee of parliament, or a departmental standing committee of the Home Ministry -- and before the government could take a final stand on the issue the house was dissolved.

Jan Lokpal Bill

Several flaws have been sited in the recent draft of the Lokpal Bill. Meanwhile the activists of India Against Corruption (IAC) have prepared a draft for the bill called Jan Lokpal Bill. The bill has been drafted by Shanti Bhushan, former IPS Kiran Bedi, Justice N. Santosh Hegde, renowned advocate Prashant Bhushan, former chief election commissioner J. M. Lyngdoh in consultation with the leaders of the India Against Corruption movement and the civil society.

The bill proposes institution of the office of Lokpal (Ombudsman) at center and Lok Ayukta at state level. Jan Lokpal Bill is designed to create an effective anti-corruption and grievance redressal systems at centre and to assure that effective deterrent is created against corruption and to provide effective protection to whistleblowers

We?? Who??

eUttaranchal turns 6 today! It was the same day in 2003 when eUttaranchal.com came into existence. However, the website was formally launched a little while later. Read here if you want to know how eUttaranchal evolved over the time.

No birthday bash! no party thrown! no formal announcement! We left it go unnoticed.
Puzzled?? Why??

• Is eUttaranchal a grown up baby now?
• Do we NOT like celebrations?
• Why did we miss out all this fun?

We will drop in answers to these “Whys” shortly. In the meantime do not forget to wish us on turning up 6. We would love your wishes

Updated: 28 April 2009
At eUttaranchal, we believe that Actions speaks louder than words. In the past 6 years, we uttered no big words, no noticeable actions, nothing. We just tried to sum up things and create a repository of all the available information about Uttaranchal. Furthermore, we connected the people of Uttaranchal defying all boundaries and made a noticeable existence with eUttaranchal Matrimonial bringing joy to over 400 lives.

We found no reason for Celebration when we turned 6 a month back. Probably because we are yet a few miles away from what we wanted to do and achieve. Rest assured, we will not let go the 7th birthday without celebration. We will join hands with you, come together and will celebrate the goodness that we achieve in the next few months! Tune to in www.euttaranchal.com regularly for more eventful updates.

This is just the beginging. Our Team has been listening to your feedback, comments and critics over the time passed by and we are glad to inform you we are working hard to release out some of the new exiting features at eUttaranchal Matrimonials due to be released by the end of June or early July 2008
