This initiative underscores Delhi’s commitment to transitioning to a paperless and more transparent legislative system, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of “One Nation, One Application.”
Developed under the guidance of MoPA, NeVA aims to enhance efficiency, accessibility, and sustainability in legislative procedures by digitizing House business, providing real-time access to documents, and enabling seamless coordination among legislators and secretariat staff.
By adopting NeVA, the Delhi Assembly will significantly reduce paper consumption, streamline workflows, and empower MLAs with digital tools for improved legislative performance.
The move further strengthens the nationwide momentum toward digital transformation in legislative institutions, as NeVA continues to expand its reach across the country.
With the constitution of the new assembly, the integration of NeVA accelerates the modernization of legislative processes, positioning the Delhi Assembly as a model for digital governance.
