The agreement signifies Delhi’s commitment to transitioning to a paperless and more transparent legislative system, in alignment with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of “One Nation, One Application.”
The NeVA platform, developed under the guidance of MoPA, aims to bring greater efficiency, accessibility, and sustainability to legislative procedures by digitising 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 better legislative performance.
This move further strengthens the nationwide momentum towards digital transformation in legislative institutions, as NeVA continues to expand its footprint across the country.
With the constitution of the new Assembly, the integration of NeVA further accelerates the modernisation of legislative processes, making Delhi Assembly a model for digital governance.
