As of now, 28 State / UT Legislatures have signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) for
implementation of the National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA), and 20 of them have already transformed
into fully digital Houses by on-boarding the NeVA platform.
The NeVA is a Mission Mode Project under the Digital India programme project aimed at digitalising all
the 37 State/UT Legislatures of the country. The main features of the NeVA project are as under:-
i. Backend computerization of all branches of State/UT Legislature Secretariats to ensure
electronic flow and delivery of information/data to all stakeholders
ii. Capacity building for Members, Legislature Secretariat staff, and State Government
officials
iii. Setting up of NeVA SeVA Kendras (NSKs) in State / UT Legislatures for assisting
members
iv. Development of multi-tenancy generic application in line with the Prime Minister’s
vision of ‘One Nation – One Application’ to automate House processes;
v. Information dissemination through public portals.
Under the “One Nation, One Application” vision, the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs has developed a
single, generic NeVA platform for use by all Legislative Houses. The adoption of common application
architecture itself promotes process standardisation across Houses. In addition, the Ministry provides the
required ICT infrastructure to bring all legislatures to a uniform level of baseline digitalisation.
The Ministry undertakes extensive capacity-building programmes for all stakeholders of the NeVA project
through National Workshops, Regional Workshops, video-conferencing sessions, on-site and off-site
technical support, and continuous handholding. The Ministry provides funding for digitalisation of legacy
data. Cutting-edge AI/ML-based tools like Bhashini’s AI/ML text-to-text translation and speech-to-
text/voice-to-speech capabilities have been incorporated into the NeVA platform to enhance linguistic
inclusiveness and user experience of the platform.
This information was given by the Minister of State of Parliamentary Affairs and Information and
Broadcasting Dr. L. Murugan in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha today.
