About Department
The Fourth All India Whips’ Conference, held at Bombay in 1962, and successive Conferences had recommended from time to time for setting up of an independent Department of Parliamentary Affairs in each State on the pattern of the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs at the Centre. The State Government accepted the said recommendation and accordingly the Legislative and Parliamentary Affairs Department came into being as an independent Department of the Secretariat of the State of Gujarat on the 1st November, 1993 for handling matters relating to the Legislations and Parliamentary Affairs.
