The Prime Point Foundation has selected 12 MPs and four Parliamentary committees for this year’s Sansad Ratna Awards. Among the MPs recognised in the individual category are BJP’s Jagdambika Pal, P P Chaudhary, Nishikant Dubey, and Shiv Sena’s Shrikant Eknath Shinde. Others include Praveen Patel, Bidyut Baran Mahato, Lumbaram Chaudhary, Hemant Vishnu Savara, Smita Uday Wagh, Naresh Ganpat Mhaske, Medha Vishram Kulkarni, and Narhari Amin.
Four Parliamentary committees have also been awarded: Agriculture chaired by Charanjit Singh Channi, Finance by Bhartruhari Mahtab, Rural Development and Panchayati Raj by Saptagiri Sankar Ulaka, and Coal and Mines by Anurag Thakur. Pal and Channi are former chief ministers, and Amin is a former deputy chief minister.
Awards for parliamentary work are welcome, but the Sansad Ratna selection by a private foundation raises questions about criteria and transparency. Naming individuals is fine, but the real test is whether such recognition pushes MPs toward more substantive legislation and scrutiny. Let us see if next year’s winners also rank high on attendance, debates, and committee work, the metrics that matter more than the award itself.
