Assam Assembly (असम विधानसभा)

A Brief Historical Profile of Assam Legislative Assembly (असम विधान सभा का एक संक्षिप्त ऐतिहासिक प्रोफ़ाइल)

  •  The Assam Legislative Assembly came into being on the day of its first sitting on April 7, 1937 in the Assembly Chamber at Shillong, the erstwhile Capital of the composite State of Assam. (असम विधान सभा 7 अप्रैल, 1937 को समग्र राज्य असम की तत्कालीन राजधानी शिलांग में असेंबली चैंबर में अपनी पहली बैठक के दिन अस्तित्व में आई थी।)
  • Situated in the North East of the Country, Assam has had a glorious history of her own. Popularly known as the ethnological museum of India, Assam has been described as Mini-India, having a rich cultural heritage with diverse race, religion and culture. Assam under the provisions of India Council Act, 1861 did not have its own democratic institution but was tagged with East Bengal in 1905 and the Institution was then called “Legislative Council of Eastern Bengal and Assam”, which started functioning from December 18, 1906. In 1909, the Council had a strength of 40 members and out of 40 seats, Assam was allotted 5 seats. In 1912 Assam was reconstituted into a Chief Commissioners’ province. In the year 1913, after Assam was granted a Legislative Council under the Government of India Act. 1909, the Assam Legislative Council came into being with a strength of 34 members of which 13 were nominated by the Chief Commissioner and 21 were elected by the people. The Legislative Council of Assam first met on 6th January, 1913 at 11 a.m. at Shillong, which was presided over by Sir Archdale Easle, the Chief Commissioner of Assam. Under the Government of India Act. 1919, the strength of the Legislative Council was raised to 53 members with effect from Ist April, 1921 of which 41 were elected members and the remaining 12 were nominated. (देश के उत्तर पूर्व में स्थित असम का अपना एक गौरवशाली इतिहास रहा है। भारत के नृवंशविज्ञान संग्रहालय के रूप में लोकप्रिय, असम को मिनी-इंडिया के रूप में वर्णित किया गया है, जिसमें विविध नस्ल, धर्म और संस्कृति के साथ समृद्ध सांस्कृतिक विरासत है। भारत परिषद अधिनियम, 1861 के प्रावधानों के तहत असम की अपनी कोई लोकतांत्रिक संस्था नहीं थी, लेकिन 1905 में इसे पूर्वी बंगाल के साथ टैग किया गया था और संस्था को तब “पूर्वी बंगाल और असम की विधान परिषद” कहा जाता था, जिसने 18 दिसंबर, 1906 से काम करना शुरू कर दिया था। 1909 में, परिषद में सदस्यों की संख्या 40 थी और 40 सीटों में से असम को 5 सीटें आवंटित की गई थीं। 1912 में असम को मुख्य आयुक्तों के प्रांत के रूप में पुनर्गठित किया गया। वर्ष 1913 में, असम को भारत सरकार अधिनियम के तहत एक विधान परिषद प्रदान की गई। 1909 में, असम विधान परिषद 34 सदस्यों की क्षमता के साथ अस्तित्व में आई, जिनमें से 13 मुख्य आयुक्त द्वारा नामित थे और 21 लोगों द्वारा चुने गए थे। असम विधान परिषद की पहली बैठक 6 जनवरी, 1913 को सुबह 11 बजे शिलांग में हुई, जिसकी अध्यक्षता असम के मुख्य आयुक्त सर आर्चडेल इस्ले ने की। भारत सरकार अधिनियम के तहत. 1919, 1 अप्रैल, 1921 से विधान परिषद की सदस्य संख्या बढ़ाकर 53 कर दी गई, जिनमें से 41 निर्वाचित सदस्य थे और शेष 12 नामांकित थे।
  • The Government of India Act, 1935 was adopted by the British Parliament on 2nd August, 1935 and was implemented in 1937. The Government of India Act 1935 made provisions for a Legislative Assembly in each province and as a result the Legislature in Assam became bicameral. The Assam Legislative Assembly had the strength of 108 members and all of them were elected members. The strength of the Legislative Council (Upper House) was not less than 21 and not more than 22 members. (भारत सरकार अधिनियम, 1935 को ब्रिटिश संसद द्वारा 2 अगस्त, 1935 को अपनाया गया था और 1937 में लागू किया गया था। भारत सरकार अधिनियम 1935 ने प्रत्येक प्रांत में एक विधान सभा का प्रावधान किया और परिणामस्वरूप असम में विधानमंडल द्विसदनीय बन गया। असम विधान सभा में सदस्यों की संख्या 108 थी और ये सभी निर्वाचित सदस्य थे। विधान परिषद (उच्च सदन) की सदस्य संख्या 21 से कम तथा 22 से अधिक नहीं थी।)
  • After the partition of India, Sylhet district of Assam was transferred to the then east Pakistan by a referendum and the strength of the Assembly was reduced to 71. However, after Independence, the strength of members were again raised to 108. The bicameral Assam Legislative Assembly became unicameral with the abolition of the Assam Legislative Council in 1947. In the years that followed, Assam was truncated to several smaller states. In 1963, Nagaland came into being as a separate State. With the passing of North Eastern (Reorganization Areas) Act in 1971 by the Parliament, Meghalaya became a full-fledged state. Subsequently, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh also followed suit. After the creation of Meghalaya as a separate state, Shillong continued to be the joint capital of both Assam and Meghalaya. However, in 1972, the Government of Assam decided to shift the Capital to Dispur, Guwahati. Accordingly, the first sitting of the Budget Session of the Assam Legislative Assembly was held at the temporary capital at Dispur on the 16th March, 1973. (भारत के विभाजन के बाद, जनमत संग्रह द्वारा असम के सिलहट जिले को तत्कालीन पूर्वी पाकिस्तान में स्थानांतरित कर दिया गया और विधानसभा की ताकत घटाकर 71 कर दी गई। हालांकि, स्वतंत्रता के बाद, सदस्यों की संख्या फिर से बढ़ाकर 108 कर दी गई। द्विसदनीय असम विधानमंडल 1947 में असम विधान परिषद के उन्मूलन के साथ विधानसभा एक सदनीय हो गई। इसके बाद के वर्षों में, असम कई छोटे राज्यों में विभाजित हो गया। 1963 में नागालैंड एक अलग राज्य के रूप में अस्तित्व में आया। 1971 में संसद द्वारा पूर्वोत्तर (पुनर्गठन क्षेत्र) अधिनियम पारित होने के साथ, मेघालय एक पूर्ण राज्य बन गया। इसके बाद, मिजोरम और अरुणाचल प्रदेश ने भी इसका अनुसरण किया। मेघालय के एक अलग राज्य के रूप में निर्माण के बाद, शिलांग असम और मेघालय दोनों की संयुक्त राजधानी बनी रही। हालाँकि, 1972 में, असम सरकार ने राजधानी को दिसपुर, गुवाहाटी में स्थानांतरित करने का निर्णय लिया। तदनुसार, असम विधान सभा के बजट सत्र की पहली बैठक 16 मार्च, 1973 को अस्थायी राजधानी दिसपुर में आयोजित की गई थी।)
  • With the changing geographical boundaries together with the shifts in the population graph of Assam, the strength of members of the Assam Legislative Assembly has fluctuated during the last fifty odd years. In 1952-57 it was 108, reaching still lower to 105 in 1957-62 (the Second Assembly) and then to 114 in 1967-72 (the third Assembly) until it reached a strength of 126 members in 1972-78 (the fifth Assembly) and it has continued to maintain that figure till the 11th Assembly. (बदलती भौगोलिक सीमाओं के साथ-साथ असम की जनसंख्या ग्राफ में बदलाव के साथ, पिछले पचास वर्षों के दौरान असम विधान सभा के सदस्यों की संख्या में उतार-चढ़ाव आया है। 1952-57 में यह 108 थी, जो 1957-62 (दूसरी विधानसभा) में 105 तक और फिर 1967-72 (तीसरी विधानसभा) में 114 तक पहुंच गई, जब तक कि 1972-78 (पांचवीं) में 126 सदस्यों की संख्या तक नहीं पहुंच गई। विधानसभा) और इसने 11वीं विधानसभा तक यह आंकड़ा बरकरार रखा है।)
  • Although the Article 172 provides the duration of State Legislative Assembly as 5 years due to the imposition of National Emergency in 1975 the fifth Assam Assembly lasted for 6 years. (हालाँकि अनुच्छेद 172 राज्य विधान सभा की अवधि 5 वर्ष प्रदान करता है, 1975 में राष्ट्रीय आपातकाल लागू होने के कारण पाँचवीं असम विधानसभा 6 वर्षों तक चली।)
  • Late Babu Basanta Kumar Das was the first Speaker of the Assam Legislative Assembly. (स्वर्गीय बाबू बसंत कुमार दास असम विधान सभा के पहले अध्यक्ष थे।)
