    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The circular is quite clear on what essential travel is, and it states that essential travel is part of the fulfilment of state obligations and pursuant to the conduct of critical state party engagements for the purpose of fulfilling a statutory leadership or membership role in which critical decisions impacting on the country's position are considered. So, there are parameters that have been provided in the circular, which is a guiding light. This circular has been sent to all the universities, and every vice-chancellor has circulated it to their members. This is what we are following. We are not creating anything new. What is important is to confirm that what the officer is going to do cannot be done by anybody else or it is going to bring some advantage or value that is required as indicated in that particular circular. The impact assessment has not been undertaken since the circular was issued on 2nd October, 2023. It is just about a year old. The time is now ripe for that particular impact assessment to be undertaken. That is what we are likely to do. However, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate."
