Parliament monsoon session 

This will be the first session of parliament after Assam, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Puducherry held assembly elections. The COVID-19 situation in the country has improved, with cases falling dramatically compared to the second wave of the pandemic earlier this year. The immunization campaign has also been intensified.

Last month, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi stated that the government is optimistic that the monsoon session of parliament will begin on time in July.  By July, he intended to get all members of parliament (MPs) and parliament staff vaccinated against COVID-19.  Due to the scenario created by COVID-19, the scheduling and duration of parliament sessions have been impacted. The monsoon session started in September last year, while the winter session was cancelled due to the COVID-19 issue.
