Digital Desk: The Lok Sabha
secretariat announced on Thursday that the monsoon session of Parliament for
the year 2022 will start on July 18.

The announcement states that
both Houses of Parliament will likely begin meeting on July 18 and that the
session will end on August 13. Typically, the Monsoon session starts the third
week of July and ends just before Independence Day.

The Monsoon session of 2017
came to a turbulent conclusion as opposition parties splintered both Houses
over the government's refusal to allow debate on the Pegasus spying scandal,
the farmers' demonstrations, and the hike in costs, particularly for motor
gasoline.

With a productivity of
barely 21%, the monsoon session of 2021 was the third least productive Lok
Sabha session during the previous two decades. The Rajya Sabha had its ninth
least productive session since 1999 with a production rate of 28%.
