Explanation:

Rajya Sabha

The Upper House of the Parliament is known as the Rajya Sabha. It represents the states in India. The Rajya Sabha is a permanent House as it cannot be dissolved. Members of the Rajya Sabha are elected for a period of six years and one-third of the total members retire after every six years.
The Rajya Sabha consists of 250 members.
Of these, 12 members are nominated by the President. These are individuals who have contributed immensely to the fields of education, sports, art, sciences, social service etc.
The remaining 238 members of the Rajya Sabha are elected by the members of State Legislative Assemblies.
Seats are allocated to the states on the basis of their population. While Uttar Pradesh sends 31 members, Mizoram sends only one member.
