Find out how many representatives from your state are in each House of the Parliament.
Students need to research and find the number of MPs from their state in both Houses of Parliament.
For example, Uttar Pradesh has 80 members in the Lok Sabha and 31 members in the Rajya Sabha.
Maharashtra has 48 members in the Lok Sabha and 19 members in the Rajya Sabha.
The number of Lok Sabha seats is based on population, while Rajya Sabha seats are also allocated based on population but represent the state's interests at the federal level.
Explanation
The chapter explains that both the number of Rajya Sabha seats allocated and the number of MPs represented in the Lok Sabha are based on the population of each state. Students can find this information from official government websites like the Parliament of India website or the Election Commission of India.
