Proposal for Independent Secretariat for Assembly
The Morning Standard
|June 10, 2025
House panel is expected to submit report during Monsoon Session
THE Delhi Assembly's Rules Committee has agreed in principle to the proposal for setting up an independent secretariat and granting financial autonomy. The Rules Committee is expected to submit its report during the upcoming Monsoon Session, when it will be presented in the House.
Since its formation in 1993, the Delhi Assembly has operated without a dedicated secretarial cadre or financial independence. Unlike Parliament and State Legislatures—where the Speaker controls appointments and administration—the Delhi Assembly depends on officers deputed from various government departments. This has caused operational difficulties and limited the Assembly's functional independence.
