He stressed that bundles of questions and answers, bills, papers laid on the Table, Special Mentions, and other Assembly business that once came in printed form will now be processed entirely through the NeVA digital module, ensuring timely, efficient, and fully accountable communication between the government departments and the legislature.

The Delhi Assembly has reaffirmed its commitment towards environmental sustainability, innovation in governance, and strengthening democratic institutions.

The Speaker emphasised that the Assembly is moving towards a paperless, future-ready ecosystem that will serve as a model for legislatures across the country.

Officials from various departments of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) were provided hands- on training regarding the National e- Vidhan Application (NeVA) for the upcoming Winter Session of the legislature, by the officers of the IT department at the Delhi Assembly on Tuesday.

Senior officers of the legislative assembly secretariat were also present on the occasion, while the Speaker interacted with the officers and urged them to adopt the application efficiently, adding that this transformation will benefit the departments as well as the legislative functioning of the assembly.

The training session held on Tuesday included officers from the departments of Social Welfare, Welfare for SC & ST Cooperative, Election, Law and Justice, Labour, Employment, Development, Art, Culture & Language, Tourism, Industries, Food and Supplies, Environment, Forest and Wildlife.

The training session will also continue on Wednesday, for other officials from the remaining departments.
