520			_aThe Constitution of India which the people of India gave unto themselves as a free people, envisages a bicameral system of Parliament for our country. Accordingly, with the coming into force of the Constitution, the Council of States better known now as the Rajya Sabha was constituted on the 3rd April 1952 and held its first sitting on the 13th May of that year under the chairmanship of Vice-President Dr. S. Radhakrishnan. The Rajya Sabha has thus completed twenty-five years of its exis tence during which period it has held one hundred sessions. The General Purposes Committee of the Rajya Sabha thought it appropriate to hold celebrations to mark this occa sion in a befitting manner. The present Volume is being brought out as a part of the celebrations.
