Addressing the 86th All India Presiding Officers’ Conference here, he said that although innovations such as live telecast and digitisation have helped take legislative proceedings directly to the public, several challenges still remain and need to be addressed. Birla said it is primarily the responsibility of the speakers of state legislatures and public representatives to make legislative assemblies more authentic and people-centric.
