"Capacity building of legislators" is a crucial agenda point. Our MPs and MLAs need continuous training to understand complex issues and serve the public better. This should be a regular feature, not just a conference topic.

All these big names gathering in Lucknow. Let's hope the talk about "accountability towards the public" translates into real change. We need our elected representatives to be more accessible and answerable to the common man.

With respect, I hope this conference addresses the declining quality of debates in our legislatures. The focus should be on substance over rhetoric. Technology can help, but we need a fundamental shift in political culture towards constructive work.

Good initiative! Making legislative processes citizen-centric through tech is the way forward. Can we get live streaming of all assembly sessions with easy-to-understand summaries? That would be true transparency.

Interesting to see the conference structure with both presiding officers and secretaries meeting. Coordination between the political and administrative wings is key for efficient governance. Hope they share the outcomes publicly.
