In our earlier posting, we write briefly about the Sansad Ratna Awards 2013 function and the National Seminar on politics, democracy and governance held at IIT Madras on 20th April 2013. The Awards were instituted by Prime Point Foundation, Chennai for the top performing Lok Sabha MPs. The national seminar was organised jointly with Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, IIT, Madras.
