He said their performance could be assessed based on several parameters such as the number of sittings held every year, the productivity of the House, the quality of debates, the adoption of technology, and the efficacy of various committees.

"We will take a view on the national legislative index at the meeting of presiding officers in Lucknow in January next year," Birla told reporters on the sidelines of the 11th Commonwealth Parliamentary Association-India Region Conference that concluded here.
