Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs 21 State/UT Legislatures Conduct Business in Digital Mode through NeVA, 7 More at various Stages of Implementation

Posted On: 11 MAR 2026 2:04PM by PIB Delhi National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA) is a unified digital initiative developed as a generic software platform designed to meet the diverse needs of all State/UT Legislative Bodies and to transform them into Digital Houses. Implementation of the project in a Legislature is governed through a Tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the Government of India, the concerned State Government and the respective State Legislature. At present, 28 State/UT Legislatures have signed MoUs for adoption of NeVA. The MoUs, inter alia, specify the cost-sharing pattern between the Centre and the State and lay down conditions for release of funds.

At present, 21 State/UT Legislatures are conducting their legislative business in digital mode through the NeVA platform and other 7 are at various stages of implementation.

The NeVA software suite comprises Mobile and Web Applications, a Public Portal and e-Book modules designed to facilitate end-to-end digitalisation of legislative workflow. It enables electronic submission of questions and notices, digital processing of legislative business, and online availability of legislative documents. The project also provides for installation of necessary ICT infrastructure and hardware to support paperless functioning of Legislatures.

The Government has made provision for adoption of NeVA by all State/UT Legislatures in the country.

This information was given by the Minister of State (Independent Charge) of Law and Justice and Minister of State of Parliamentary Affairs, Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal in a written reply in Lok Sabha today.
