"Our collective endeavour should be to take Indian democracy and parliament to even greater heights. It should not be limited to the adoption of the Westminster System. Rather, the Indian parliament should be a model to be adopted," former Lok Sabha speaker Meira Kumar said.

Patrons and the members of the Governing Council for NLC Bharat include former Lok Sabha Speakers Sumitra Mahajan, Meira Kumar, Manohar Joshi, and Shivraj Patil.
