 Prorogation is when a session of Parliament officially ends. It’s like saying, "This chapter of work is done for now, and we’ll start a new chapter next time."

Here’s the easy explanation:

What Happens in Prorogation?

  • When? After all the business of a session (like debates, passing laws, and discussions) is finished, the President of India formally ends the session.
  • How? The President issues a formal order to prorogue (end) the session, based on the advice of the government.

Key Points to Understand:

  1. End of the Session:

    • It’s not the end of Parliament but just the end of that particular session (like finishing one term in school).
  2. Who Does It?

    • The President officially prorogues Parliament after being advised by the Council of Ministers.
  3. What’s Next?

    • After prorogation, Parliament takes a break (until the next session is summoned by the President).

Difference from Other Terms:

  • Adjournment: A short break in Parliament, like pausing a meeting for a day or even a few hours.
  • Recess: A longer break between two parts of the same session.
  • Prorogation: Ends the entire session officially, clearing the way for a fresh start next time.

Fun Analogy:

Imagine you’re in school:

  • Adjournment: Like a short break between two classes.
  • Recess: Like the lunch break in the middle of the school day.
  • Prorogation: Like the school bell at the end of the term saying, “This term is over; come back for the next term!”

In short, prorogation is the official closing ceremony for a session of Parliament. Everything wraps up, and they’ll return later to start fresh!
