“When a country like India, full of diversity, with a huge population that tackles various challenges, moves forward with a belief, it inspires many countries of the world. Every achievement of India is going to become an achievement for different countries in different parts of the world in the coming days,” PM Modi said during inauguration of new Parliament buildings today
Expansion after 2026?
The new Lok Sabha chamber designed to accommodate 888 Lok Sabha members instead of the House’s current capacity of 552.
At present, India has 543 Lok Sabha constituencies.
In 1976, the Constitution was amended to freeze the Lok Sabha’s expansion until 2001. This was done to allow for population control initiatives to take effect. In 2001, the freeze was extended until 2026. This constitutional amendment mandates that the Lok Sabha’s expansion after 2026 must be based on the first Census after 2026, which is supposed to take place in 2031.
The Lok Sabha’s possible expansion after 2031 would be the first increase in the Lower House’s membership in 60 years.

Leaders of different dharmas being followed by people in India join hands to create positivity. They all invoke the blessings of all the gods of India while dedicating the building of the parliament to the people of India. Buddhist, Christian, Zoroastrian, Bahaai, Judaism, Jain, Islam, Sikh, Hindu, ..... all pray for the shower of nectar on everyone. The words of Nanak: 'jis par hove teri kirpa us se tale sabhi balā'.
