MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE

THE MINISTRY OF PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS
(SHRI ARJUN RAM MEGHWAL)
(a) National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA) is a unified digital
initiative developed as a generic software platform designed to
meet the diverse needs of all State/UT Legislative Bodies and to
transform them into Digital Houses. Implementation of the
project in a Legislature is governed through a Tripartite
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the
Government of India, the concerned State Government and the
respective State Legislature. At present, 28 State/UT
Legislatures have signed MoUs for adoption of NeVA. The MoUs,
inter alia, specify the cost-sharing pattern between the Centre
and the State and lay down conditions for release of funds.
(b) At present, 21 State/UT Legislatures are conducting their
legislative business in digital mode through the NeVA platform
and other 7 are at various stages of implementation.
(c) The NeVA software suite comprises Mobile and Web
Applications, a Public Portal and e-Book modules designed to
facilitate end-to-end digitalisation of legislative workflow. It
enables electronic submission of questions and notices, digital
processing of legislative business, and online availability of
legislative documents. The project also provides for installation
of necessary ICT infrastructure and hardware to support
paperless functioning of Legislatures.
2(d) & (e) Yes. The Government has made provision for adoption
of NeVA by all State/UT Legislatures in the country.
