Parliamentary Standing Committee

A Parliamentary Standing Committee is a specialized group formed within a legislature to focus on specific areas like finance, education, or health. They examine bills, policies, and government work related to their designated area, gather expert opinions, and scrutinize how public funds are used. These committees gather detailed information, hold hearings, and prepare reports to help the entire parliament make informed decisions. They operate regularly, providing ongoing oversight and ensuring transparency and accountability in government functioning.
