Government of India (Parliament)

The Parliament of India is the country's supreme legislative body under the Constitution, consisting of the President and two houses: the Lok Sabha (House of the People) and the Rajya Sabha (Council of States). It enacts national legislation, approves taxation and government spending, and exercises oversight of the executive. Members of the Lok Sabha are directly elected, while the Rajya Sabha is composed largely of members chosen by state legislatures. Within India's federal structure, Parliament legislates on subjects assigned to the national level, including aspects of education that fall under shared or central jurisdiction, while many education matters are also administered by state governments.
