Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta on Tuesday visited the House to review the ongoing renovation and modernization work, which is progressing rapidly in preparation for the upcoming


Monsoon Session. The session is set to be conducted through the National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA) and is likely to be entirely paperless. The entire House is poised to transition to a


paperless mode by the Monsoon Session under the NeVA initiative. Advertisement The Speaker emphasized the importance of integrating modern technology into legislative processes and


reiterated the commitment of the Assembly Secretariat to enhance the efficiency, transparency, and citizen-friendliness of Delhi’s legislative functioning. Advertisement Gupta was


accompanied by the Secretary of the Legislative Assembly and senior officials from the Public Works Department (PWD) during his visit. He was briefed on the extensive efforts being


undertaken to modernize the Assembly’s infrastructure, especially with the implementation of paperless facilities as part of the ongoing transition. The historic Assembly is being equipped


with advanced systems designed to significantly enhance its operations. Each member will have a desktop at their seat to access the NeVA application and conduct legislative work digitally.


Among the major upgrades, the Delhi Assembly is adopting a cutting-edge Digital Conference and Networking System under NeVA to promote transparency, efficiency, and paperless governance. The


system includes smart delegate units with microphones, voting panels, RFID/NFC access, and multilingual interpretation support, along with iPads for members to access agendas and documents


in real time. Automated AV systems with HD cameras and centralized control will also be installed, along with a robust and secure networking setup featuring power backup. These high-tech


upgrades are expected to assist legislators in effectively fulfilling their duties within the Assembly. Additionally, the entire Assembly complex is undergoing a shift to solar energy, with


a 500-megawatt project currently being installed on the premise Advertisement
