Haryana's e-Vidhan Sabha would prove to be a historic milestone in the history of the state: Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Monday - after launching the national e-Vidhan Application (NEVA) on the tablets - said e-Vidhan Sabha would prove to be a historic milestone. Khattar asserted that the Haryana government is using digital technology in every field. National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA) Project is a Paperless Assembly or e-Assembly employees electronic means to facilitate the work of the state assembly. NeVA aims to bring all the legislatures of the country together, in one platform thereby creating a massive data depository without having the complexity of multiple applications. It also enables automation of the entire law making process, tracking of decisions and documents, and sharing of information. Himachal Pradesh is among the first digital legislatures in the country.

The tablets, affixed to the table of each member, are reported to be enabled with NeVA. Tablets have been installed in front of the seats of legislators in a bid to make the entire proceedings of the state assembly paperless.
2. Members can keep a track digitally

3. Data can be accessed from anywhere at any time
The NeVA application has been linked with the work of the Vidhan Sabha. In future, information related to the areas of MLAs will also be updated in it. NeVA will completely eliminate the process of sending out a notice/request for collection of data. Using cloud technology (Meghraj), data deployed can be accessed anywhere at any time.
4. Tracking development in the constituencies
The members of the legislative assembly (MLAs) will be able to track the development work in their area or how much fund has been spent by the government in their area. The general public will also be able to get this information easily through the MLAs
5. The legislators will also mark their attendance by clicking on the tablets
A practice session was held to enable the legislators in Haryana to get used to the new system. Some MLAs were seeking help on using the tablets, later, when the assembly proceedings began in the afternoon.
