The Delhi Legislative Assembly has taken a significant step towards digital governance by signing a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs (MoPA), Government of India and Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) for the implementation of the National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA).
With this development, Delhi becomes the 28th legislature to sign MoU with the Ministry for implementation of the project, marking a new chapter in its legislative functioning.
The occasion was graced by Kiren Rijiju, Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Minority Affairs; Vijender Gupta, Speaker of the Delhi Legislative Assembly & Umang Narula, Secretary, MoPA.
Dr. Satya Prakash, Additional Secretary, MoPA & Mission Leader (NeVA); Ranjeet Singh, Secretary, Delhi Legislative Assembly; and Reetesh Singh, Principal Secretary (Law), GNCTD signed the MoU for implementation of the project in Delhi Assembly.
The agreement signifies Delhi’s commitment to transitioning to a paperless and more transparent legislative system.
The NeVA platform, developed under the guidance of the MoPA, aims to enhance legislative procedures by promoting greater efficiency, accessibility, and sustainability.
By digitizing House business and providing real-time access to documents, it enables seamless coordination among legislators and secretariat staff. This adoption of NeVA by the Delhi Assembly will not only reduce paper consumption but also streamline workflows, empowering Members of the Legislative Assembly with digital tools to improve legislative performance.
