In December 2021, which State Assembly passed two bills to reserve 50% seats for women for 10 years on a rotational basis in constituencies of the civic bodies in the state?
Assam
The correct answer is Assam.
Rotational Basis: Reserving seats and chairperson positions on a rotational basis among different constituencies or levels ensures that various areas and different women get an opportunity to represent and lead over time, preventing certain seats or positions from being permanently reserved for women, which could lead to other issues. The bills passed by the Assam Assembly in December 2021 are an example of a state increasing the reservation percentage beyond the constitutional minimum, specifically for urban local bodies, aligning with similar initiatives taken by other states to promote greater gender equality in local politics.
