  2. Committee on Finance - Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill (2014-2016):
    • This committee extensively reviewed the GST Bill, incorporating suggestions and resolving political differences, which led to the successful passage of one of India’s most significant tax reforms.
  3. Committee on Home Affairs - Disaster Management (2013-2014):
    • The committee made significant contributions to India’s disaster management framework, suggesting improvements in preparedness and response mechanisms, particularly after the Uttarakhand floods.

  5. Committee on Agriculture - Minimum Support Price (MSP) (2018-2019):

  6. Committee on External Affairs - Indo-US Nuclear Deal (2008):
    • The committee played a pivotal role in debating and discussing the strategic implications of the Indo-US Nuclear Deal, which was a landmark in India’s foreign policy.

    • The committee was unable to address the delays and inefficiencies in defense procurement, leading to setbacks in the modernization of the armed forces.
