This reflects the Ministry’s commitment to a fully paperless, efficient, and transparent work environment, in line with the vision of Digital India and Swachh Bharat. The flagship NeVA (National eVidhan Application) project continues to serve as a model of good governance, enabling paperless functioning of State Legislatures and contributing to environmental sustainability. The Ministry remains fully committed to achieving all campaign targets by the end of October 2025, with continued focus on cleanliness, transparency, digital transformation, and efficiency in all areas of its functioning. *** SS/ISA (Release ID: 2179544)
