उत्तर
The data shows a clear decline in the number of Lok Sabha sittings over time. Although the number of sessions has stayed fairly similar, the sittings decreased from 677 in the 1st Lok Sabha to 567 in the 2nd, 423 in the 10th, and 356 in the 13th Lok Sabha. This indicates that Parliament now spends less time on debates and discussions than it did in the earlier years, which may affect the quality of its legislative work.
| Lok Sabha Term | Sessions Held | Total Sitting Days | Remarks |
| 16th Lok Sabha (2014-2019) | 18 sessions | 315 sitting days | This term saw more working days and regular discussions. It reflected relatively higher parliamentary productivity. |
| 17th Lok Sabha (2019-2024) | 15 sessions | 274 sittings | There was a decline in the number of ittings compared to the previous term. Reasons may include disruptions, the COVID-19 pandemic, and early adjournments. |
