Rajya Sabha is the part of the parliament house
Answer:
The upper and the second house of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha. The members of the Rajya Sabha are indirectly elected. Rajya Sabha gives representation to 29 states and 7 Union Territories in India. Thus, members of Rajya Sabha work as representatives of the constituent states.
The total membership of the Rajya Sabha is 250 members. Amongst them, 238 members are elected from the constituent states and Union Territories. All the constituent states do not get equal representation in the Rajya Sabha. It is proportional to the total population of each of the states. The remaining 12 members are appointed by the President. These members are usually experienced and distinguished personalities from the fields of literature, arts, science, sports, and social work. The members of the Rajya Sabha are elected through the system of proportional representation.
Rajya Sabha is never dissolved completely hence it is called a permanent House. 1/3rd members of the total membership of Rajya Sabha who have completed their tenure of six years retire after every two years and an equal number of new members get elected. Since the limited members of Rajya Sabha retire step by step, Rajya Sabha can function continuously. Any person contesting for the elections of Rajya Sabha must be an Indian citizen and he must have completed 30 years of age. Members of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha are known as Members of Parliament (MPs).
