Speaker Vijender Gupta inaugurates NeVA Seva Centre in Delhi Assembly
Speaking at the event, Gupta said the inauguration of the centre and the successful completion of the first phase of the project marked a critical milestone in 'our commitment to a digital, transparent, and sustainable legislature".
'This initiative reflects our alignment with the prime minister's vision of Digital India, paperless governance, and the transformative idea of 'One Nation, One Application'.
'It is unfortunate that earlier governments made no sincere efforts in this direction. With NeVA, we are now bridging that gap and paving the way for a more accountable and modern legislative ecosystem," Gupta said.
The first batch of MLAs actively participated and showed keen interest in the working of the application, an official statement said.
Each member was provided with a smartphone preloaded with the NeVA application, allowing seamless access to the list of business, legislative questions, documents, and session updates, it said.
The members appreciated the initiative and acknowledged its role in improving legislative efficiency, the statement said.
A three-day training programme, scheduled from July 21 to July 23, has been designed to equip the MLAs with practical knowledge of the NeVA platform's tools and functionalities.
The training programme aims to ensure their effective participation in the upcoming Monsoon Session (of the Assembly) by enabling a smooth transition to paperless legislative functioning, the statement said.
Expert trainers from the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs conducted the session for the first batch.
The three-day training is being conducted in a batch-wise manner across six batches, ensuring personalised and focused engagement for all members, the statement added.
To facilitate this digital transformation, 18 high-speed computers have been installed at the newly-established NeVA Seva Centre, it said. PTI SLB ARI

Delhiites to enjoy hot air balloon rides in two months: Location, price and more...
Delhiites would soon get an opportunity to experience hot air balloon rides. Officials said on Thursday that the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has finalised an agency to conduct the adventure activity at four locations. "After careful consideration, the four locations have been selected for the initial start of the project," the official was quoted by news agency PTI as saying. 2. Commonwealth Games sports complex 3. Two other sites along the Yamuna Bank at Asita and Baansera The Commonwealth Games Village along the banks of the Yamuna River is spread across a vast space of around 100 acres. It was constructed as a residence for athletes during the Commonwealth Games in 2010. It is located near Akshardham temple. Meanwhile, the Yamuna Sports Complex, situated in Surajmal Vihar, was also constructed for the games. It is the biggest sports complex developed by DDA. The DDA will provide 3600 sqm of space at each site for the operation of tethered hot air balloons, which will be tied to a rope at one end on the ground. "This project will promote eco-tourism and recreational activities and provide a unique aerial perspective of the national capital and its landscape. The entire concept has been visualised under the guidance and supervision of Lt Governor VK Saxena," a statement from the DDA read. As per the report, the agency will likely commence operations in two months' time. Four hours of flying time will be allowed every day. The private company will be operating on a revenue-sharing model, and the agency will be allowed to advertise on the balloons. The DDA said in a statement that to ensure transparency and proper record keeping, "all proceeds from ticketing will be credited to DDA's account." The price of the hot-air balloon rides will be decided by the firm. However, the DDA has directed them to keep the tickets at a reasonable price. The development came as the DDA is extensively working on the Rejuvenation of the River Yamuna and the state. The aim is to develop Yamuna Front into a tourism and culture hub. Also, ferry service is being developed on the Yamuna River on a four- to six-km stretch between Sonia Vihar and Jagatpur. This project also aims to develop tourism in the state. An MoU was signed between the Inland Waterways Authority of India and the departments of the Delhi government.
