The session will be held amid an intense buzz on whether the government will have some surprise item up its sleeve during the sitting that will see a discussion on Parliament's 75-year journey and House proceedings moving to the new building. According to a Lok Sabha bulletin, the function will commemorate the rich legacy of the Parliament of India and resolve to make ‘Bharat’ a developed nation by 2047.
