In a landmark move towards paperless governance, the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Uttarakhand and the Hon’ble Speaker of the Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly officially launched the National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA) portal on 21st February 2025.

The NeVA portal, a state-of-the-art digital legislative solution, aims to streamline the functioning of the Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly by offering a smart and efficient data management system. By integrating digital records, real-time access to legislative proceedings, and an automated workflow, NeVA eliminates the need for physical paperwork, making the assembly’s operations more transparent, accessible, and eco-friendly.

Speaking at the launch event, the Hon’ble Chief Minister emphasized that NeVA would revolutionize legislative governance by enhancing efficiency, ensuring real-time information access, and promoting environmental sustainability. The Hon’ble Speaker highlighted that this initiative aligns with the Digital India vision, ensuring that legislators, officials, and the public can seamlessly access legislative documents, bills, and reports.

Developed by NIC, the NeVA platform is designed to digitize and automate legislative proceedings across the country. It enables real-time document access, electronic bill processing, committee management, and digital voting, significantly reducing administrative delays.

With Uttarakhand adopting NeVA, the state joins the growing list of assemblies that have transitioned towards paperless governance, making legislative processes more efficient, transparent, and digitally inclusive. The initiative sets a benchmark for modernizing governance through digital interventions, reinforcing the state’s commitment to e-Governance and smart legislative practices.
