The Big Picture - Legislative Impact Assessment

Winter session of parliament is all set to begin on 18th November and will conclude on 13th December. Ahead of the this month long session , the Chairman of Rajya Sabha M Venkaiah Naidu has advocated detailed Legislative Impact Assessment. He called for informed law making in the country by bringing out social , economic , environmental and institutional impacts of legislative proposals . This , he said , will help in realising the stated objectives of various laws. So how can such assessment be made a part of the lawmaking process and how will it benefit.
