MoUs signed by 33 State/UT Legislatures for implementation of National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA)
33 State/UT Legislatures signed Memoranda of Understanding for implementation of the National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA), and 21 Legislative Houses adopted digital workflows under NeVA.
- NeVA digitises legislative workflows so legislative work moves electronically instead of paper.
- NITI Aayog reported reduced paper use and improved legislative workflows.
- BHASHINI integration enables text-to-text translation for the NeVA public portal, improving linguistic access.
- NeVA is migrated to NIC MeghRaj 2.0 cloud and designed to work across different devices.
What happened: NeVA MoUs for State/UT legislative digitisation
The Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs reported that 33 out of 37 State/UT Legislatures signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) for implementing the National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA).
The same government communication stated that 21 Legislative Houses have been transformed into digital legislatures under the NeVA project. The digitisation of the two Houses of Parliament was explicitly stated as outside the scope of the NeVA project.
UPSC may examine NeVA as an example of government digitisation in legislative processes—how workflow digitisation, dashboards, and portal access can reduce paper dependence while ensuring role-based processing and translation accessibility.
