Nagaland has scripted history by becoming India’s first legislative assembly to go paperless by implementing the National e-Vidhan Application (NeVa) programme. The Nagaland Legislative Assembly (NLA) is conducting a session in paperless mode.
Pralhad Venkatesh Joshi, Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Coal and Mines of India has tweeted on Twitter, “Nagaland become India’s 1st Legislative Assembly to successfully implement National e-Vidhan project. Now members can use electronic devices to participate in House proceedings. This initiative encourages paperless operations & reflects Govt’s commitment towards Ashta Lakshmi.”
The National e-Vidhan Application programme works under the supervision of Parliamentary Affairs. 90 per cent funds for the expenses of programme are given by the Centre and the state government has to bear the remaining 10 per cent expenses.
