About Lok Sabha
The Lok Sabha (House of the People) is the lower house of India's bicameral Parliament, with the Rajya Sabha being the upper house. Members of the Lok Sabha are directly elected by the people of India through universal adult suffrage, making it the true representative body of the world's largest democracy. The Lok Sabha has a maximum strength of 552 members, with 530 members representing the States and Union Territories, and 20 members nominated by the President.
