Students, what comes to your mind when you hear the word 'Parliament'?
Parliament is a legislative body of government i.e it basically makes laws for the country.

India is a Parliamentary democratic republic where the President of India is the Head of Indian Union and the Prime Minister and all the Ministers are responsible for smooth running of the government. This is called central government. 

 

Parliament consists of two houses namely, Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha. their composition and functions of each houses will be discussed in higher standards. The members of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha are called Members of Parliament (MP).
