Solution
The President of India nominates 12 members to the Rajya Sabha based on their special knowledge or practical experience in the fields of literature, science, art, or social service, as per Article 80 of the Constitution. These members are not elected but are chosen to bring expertise and diversity to parliamentary discussions. Their role is to contribute meaningfully to the law-making process with their experience. For example, in 2018, President Ram Nath Kovind nominated classical dancer Sonal Mansingh, columnist Rakesh Sinha, sculptor Raghunath Mohapatra, and farmer leader Ram Shakal for their outstanding contributions in their respective fields.
