General Information of Vidhansabha

In 1918, Bhavsinhji Gohil, ruler of Bhavnagar State, established The Peoples' Representative

Assembly consisting of 38 members appointed by him. His succeeding son, Krishna Kumar

Sinhji, formed the Bhavnagar legislative assembly in 1941 having 55 members, consisting

of 33 elected members, 16 nominated members by him and 6 ex-officio members. On 1st

May 1960, the Bombay state was bifurcated into Gujarat and Maharashtra states resulted in

formation of Gujarat legislative assembly.

DEMOCRACY:-“of the people, for the people, by the people.”

After formation of Gujarat state in 1960, Ahmadabad was a capital of the state. Assembly

started functioning from the present day OPD building of Ahmadabad Civil Hospital. New

capital city, Gandhinagar was built in 1971. Later assembly was shifted to Central Library

building, sector-17, Gandhinagar on 11th February 1971. President Neelam Sanjiva

Reddy laid foundation stone of new assembly building, Vithalbhai Patel Bhavan on 20

March 1978. It was designed by H. K. Mewada, chief planner of Gandhinagar. The

construction was completed in 1982 and it was named after Vithalbhai Patel, the first

Indian speaker of Central. It was inaugurated by Governor Sharda Mukherjee on 8th July

1982. Since then the Gujarat legislative assembly works here.

Purpose of Visit:

India is a democratic country. So, all citizens should be familiar with the way democratic

institutions work. As the students are the future generation of our country, so they should

mainly be aware of the democracy.

Indian youth is running away from the working of Government, which mainly includes

unawareness of the assembly’s procedure. This unawareness is caused by the inefficient

data available in the textbooks at school level. Sensing this shortcoming in the student

community, GTU has coordinated with the Education Department, Government of Gujarat

to allow GTU students and Faculty Members to visit the live sessions of Gujarat

Vidhansabha and to have interaction with the Minister of Education in person.

Procedure for Visit:

On the basis of GTU circular No – GTU / CPSD / Vidhansabha / 2016 / 1463 dated on

23/02/2016, the steps for visiting Gujarat Vidhansabha are as mentioned below:

Registration is made on web link mentioned in GTU Vidhansabha circular.

Contact to visit coordinator Dr. Manish A. Rachchh, Associate Professor, GTU via

e-mail to take prior permission.

After getting approval, list of students and faculties who are going to visit is prepared

in prescribed format.

List of visitors is sent to Mr. Manish Rachchh for final confirmation.

The schedule and disciplinary rules are provided to the institution.

Visit Description:

The total 69 Nos. of visitors including students and faculties of this institute reached to New

Sachivalay, Gate No.1 at 11.45 AM. The students and faculties registration was done very

systematically and on-duty officers guided us about how to reach Vidhansabha Gruh

cordially. Security checking was very strict as it is the Heart of Gujarat. After dividing in

various groups by security officers we were allowed to enter the Vidhansabha Gruh and

advised to follow the norms of Vidhansabha Gruh.

In live session, we observed the members of legislative discussed the work and different

schemes prepared by Government of Gujarat. We also became a witness of discussion

between ruling party and opposition party on the current issues. After hearing the live

session, we all gathered at the ground floor where students learnt about the contributions

of former chief ministers by reading the monograph. Students and faculties were made

aware about different schemes which are beneficial to our citizens and students.

Students and faculty members have interacted with Smt. Aanandiben Patel, Honorable

Chief Ministers, Government of Gujarat about education. Honorable Chief Minister inspired

and motivated our students. Students were so happy and excited by meeting with our

Honorable Chief Minister. Students and faculties then took a group photo outside the

Vidhansabha.

Feedback

The main purpose of the visit was fulfilled that the students should be

aware of the legislative activities and it was pleasure to spend time at

the”HEART OF GUJARAT”

Mr. Umang Patel

A House of Assembly is one of the places where tradition is the keyword:

everything is perfectly in balance between new and ancient, and

it's flabbergasted to explore the working of the legislator office. It was great

to see the functioning of assembly with the students.

Riddhi Jaiswal

I realized that the mission “Swacha Bharat” and “Digital India” is not only

talked but also implemented.

Divyesh Wagh

Serious efforts are seen towards the women awareness about the system

and activities in the Vidhansabha session.

Shraddha Thacker

I was inspired to serve the nation just by spending few minutes with our

Honorable CM.

Mr. Bhavin Mistry

It was a great experience that what I have seen on television, was actually

happening live in front of me. A memorable experience of my life is

Vidhansabha Visit.

Live session of the assembly was the core part of the visit which mainly

gives the REAL EYES to realize how the work is done in assembly.

It was an opportunity for us to have knowledge with enjoyment. A real

experience “Learn with Fun”

It was a great excitement for us to meet the Honorable Chief Minister

Mrs. Aanandiben Patel.

Hard efforts of political leaders have been observed to achieve the top

level of Gujarat in India.

I realized practical knowledge of democracy which had been learnt in the

theory at school level.

It was a great excitement for us to meet the Honorable Chief Minister Mrs.

Aanandiben Patel.

It was an outstanding experience for students & faculties to become a

witness of live discussion on current issues of our state.
