The speaker said objective of the app is to bring all legislatures of the country on one platform, thereby creating a massive data depository without the complexity of multiple applications. He said the Punjab government has completed the process of installing tablets on the tables of all MLAs, with which the proceedings of the House will now be online.

He said now, exchange of information regarding the vidhan sabha will be done through NeVA. He said people’s participation will also increase through the app and live webcasting of proceedings.
Sandhwan said in this conference-cum-workshop, information about different sessions such as online notice section and digital, online question processing and digitisation module, online house committee module, reporters module etc. will be given.
