The correct answer is (c) 11 members from Lok Sabha and 11 from Rajya Sabha.
The Committee on Public Undertakings (COPU) is a standing committee of the Parliament of India. It was constituted in 1964 to oversee the functioning of public undertakings in India. The COPU consists of 22 members, 11 from the Lok Sabha and 11 from the Rajya Sabha. The members are nominated by the Speaker of the Lok Sabha and the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha. The COPU is headed by a chairman who is elected by the members of the committee. The chairman is usually a member of the opposition party.
The COPU has the following functions:
- To examine the reports and accounts of public undertakings;
- To examine the working of public undertakings;
- To make recommendations to the government on the improvement of the working of public undertakings;
- To call for reports from the government on any matter relating to public undertakings;
- To conduct inquiries into any matter relating to public undertakings;
- To publish its reports and recommendations.
The COPU is a powerful committee and its recommendations are usually taken seriously by the government. The COPU has played a significant role in improving the functioning of public undertakings in India.
