The Bihar legislators would be given a short course by Constitution experts to raise the standard of debate in the House, Speaker Vijay Kumar Chaudhary said today.
Constitution experts - Subhash Kashyap and G C Malhotra - would deliver lectures to the law makers during a two-day programme from February 7, being organised to mark the Foundation Day of the Assembly building, Chaudhary told reporters.
Kashyap, secretary general of the 7th, 8th and 9th Lok Sabha and Malhotra, secretary general of 12th and 13th Lok Sabha, would address 317 MLAs and MLCs, he said.
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar would inaugurate the function on February 7, the speaker said.
Malhotra would educate the legislators on ways of raising starred, unstarred questions. He would also speak about raising issues during zero hour and call attention, he said.
Kashyap would discuss budgetary procedures and privileges of the legislators.
The crash course holds importance considering the fact that the present 243-membered Bihar Assembly has 99 first-timers.
