Karnataka Vidhan Sabha delegation, led by Speaker UT Khader Fareed, visited the Punjab Assembly to get first-hand information about the National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA) project specifically implemented for the first time in the Punjab Legislative Assembly.
The delegation met Punjab Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan, who said that the entire work of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha, including functioning of the sessions, is being accomplished through a completely digital and paperless manner.
He said that by conducting a two-day NeVA conference-cum-workshop, all the MLAs and Administrative Secretaries were imparted training on the working of this new system. He said that a digital wing has been set up to make the functioning of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha hi-tech and connect it with modern tools of communication.

The entire working of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha Secretariat has also become easier and paper is also being presented in the House through electronic method,” Sandhwan added.
