Samaya Jyothi Participates in Parliamentary Committee Meet, Highlights Transparency and Public Health Reforms
Samaya Jyothi, an active member of the Parliamentary Committee on Sub-ordinate Legislation, participated in a critical session today aimed at reviewing and strengthening India’s legislative framework. The meeting focused on bolstering transparency, enhancing accountability, and revisiting key rules laid down by the Food Safety Authority. The intent was clear — to ensure that public health is not only prioritized but also protected through actionable policy reform.
Held at the Parliament House, the meeting brought together esteemed lawmakers, legal experts, and public policy analysts. The Committee emphasized the importance of refining subordinate legislation to keep it aligned with the evolving socio-economic realities of the country. Samaya Jyothi actively contributed to the discourse, stressing the urgent need for efficient legislative oversight and periodic review of delegated laws.
A major portion of the meeting was dedicated to a comprehensive evaluation of current Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) regulations. Members examined the effectiveness of implementation at grassroots levels and discussed actionable steps to address compliance gaps. With the rise in food-related health issues, the committee acknowledged the need for stricter monitoring mechanisms and increased public awareness campaigns to ensure food safety standards are upheld across the nation.

Samaya Jyothi stated, “Robust subordinate legislation is the backbone of our legal ecosystem. Today’s discussions were not only timely but necessary, especially as we address key issues impacting everyday citizens — from food safety to administrative transparency.”
The committee also debated the necessity of digital transparency in the dissemination of legal updates. There was a strong consensus on integrating more tech-driven platforms to allow stakeholders — including consumers, food manufacturers, and policymakers — to access real-time regulatory information and lodge grievances effectively.
Moreover, oversight mechanisms were scrutinized. There was a pointed discussion about strengthening the Parliamentary Committee’s review powers to prevent misuse or misinterpretation of delegated laws by implementing authorities. Samaya Jyothi recommended structured audit cycles and collaborative assessments with independent bodies to evaluate the efficacy of existing legislation.
As part of the session, key regulatory gaps were identified — particularly regarding licensing, food labeling standards, and quality control in rural supply chains. Samaya Jyothi underscored the significance of bringing these areas under tighter legislative scrutiny. She also pushed for a people-centric approach, where community feedback can help shape future policies.
Apart from food safety, the meeting also reflected on broader systemic reforms needed to improve India’s legislative oversight. The committee intends to hold further consultations with the public and stakeholders before finalizing amendments. Transparency and accountability were reiterated as foundational principles guiding all legislative reform.
The session concluded with a shared commitment among members to bring legislative processes closer to the public while fostering a proactive regulatory culture. Samaya Jyothi’s contributions were especially notable for highlighting both grassroots and structural challenges in policy implementation, proposing a balanced approach that empowers citizens and strengthens governance.
In a time when public trust in institutions must be continuously nurtured, forums like today’s committee meeting serve as a critical touchpoint between governance and the governed. Samaya Jyothi’s active participation signals a continued focus on inclusive legislative reform with public welfare at its core.
