RAJYA SABHA RESEARCH AND STUDY (RSRS) SCHEME

The Rajya Sabha instituted the Dr. S. Radhakrishnan Chair and two Rajya Sabha Fellowships in the year 2009 with the objective of promoting research on different aspects of parliamentary democracy in India. The Scheme has been revamped in 2019 and again in 2023 in order to enhance its effectiveness and utility. The broad objective of the Scheme is ‘to promote research/empirical/comparative study of the functioning of Parliament and other democratic institutions and analyse their contributions to the country’s socio-economic transformation and to ensure the utility of the research study to the functioning of Parliament’.

Rajya Sabha Internship Programme

The Rajya Sabha Internship Programme is nomination-based. The programme aims to bring the functioning of Parliament closer to the youth by providing them an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the overall functioning of Parliament at the macro level and the Rajya Sabha Secretariat at the micro level.
