RANCHI, Feb. 12 -- Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren inaugurated a NeVA (National e-Vidhan Application) Seva Kendra at assembly on Wednesday to facilitate digital and paperless legislative functioning and enhance transparency, officials said. "NeVA is a project under the Centre's Digital India programme, designed to digitise the functioning of the state and UT legislatures, making them paperless and unified on one platform. As many as 28 legislative Houses have already signed MoUs for the implementation of NeVA in the country, and 20 Houses are live on NeVA," an official close to the developments said. Besides inaugurating the new facility, the chief minister and Speaker Rabindra Nath Mahto also distributed tablets preloaded with the NeVA apps among the MLAs and provided them with training for better use of the new digital system. "NeVA will add a new chapter to the assembly. Gradually, the entire assembly proceedings will go paperless, allowing seamless access to the list of business, legislative questions and session updates," the CM said. "Members can now access House proceedings, sitting at home or from any corner, through the application. It will also provide respite to the members, who sometimes have to put in questions at 2 am or 3 am for the next day's proceedings. Now, they can put those through the application," he added. Speaker Rabindra Nath Mahato said the digital service would be partially used in the upcoming budget session beginning February 18, and fully implemented during Monsoon session....
