The NeVA project aligns with the broader Digital India Programme representing one of the 44 Mission Mode Projects (MMP).
President Droupadi Murmu on Wednesday launched the Gujarat Assembly’s National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA) project, which makes the State Assembly’s proceedings digital and paperless.
The project was launched on the opening day of the four-day monsoon session of the State Assembly.
“NeVA is a progressive transformation, which will bring transparency in the functioning of the Gujarat Assembly, and also help members of the House access the best practices of other Assemblies,” Ms. Murmu said in her address in the Assembly.
NeVA is a pet project of Gujarat Assembly Speaker Shankar Chaudhary, who has committed to make the entire functioning of the Assembly digital, including the legislative proceedings. All members have a pre-installed tablet providing all details, including questions, Bills, and other resources.
The NeVA project aligns with the broader Digital India Programme representing one of the 44 Mission Mode Projects (MMP).
So far, 21 State Assemblies have signed Memorandums of Understanding to implement NeVA, and funding has been allocated for 17 of them. Nine legislatures have transitioned fully into digital Houses and actively operate on the NeVA platform, that is, all their legislative activities are conducted digitally and without paper.
NeVA epitomises the concept of ‘One Nation, One Application’, with a mission to prioritise cloud-first and mobile-first approaches, all centred around serving the Members of Legislative Assemblies more effectively. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had initially proposed the concept of ‘One Nation, One Legislative Platform’ in November 2021.
