Assembly getting digital-ready for monsoon session
New Delhi: The monsoon session of Delhi Assembly is likely in the first week of Aug, with preparations under way for a digitally enabled House. A week-long session has been proposed, officials said. Ahead of it, the assembly will launch a three-day digital training programme for MLAs from July 21, aimed at familiarising them with National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA). Speaker Vijender Gupta will inaugurate the NeVA Training Centre at the Vidhan Sabha Complex. Expert trainers from ministry of parliamentary affairs (MoPA) will conduct the sessions from July 21–23, equipping legislators for paperless, efficient governance. "Digital transformation is no longer a choice but a necessity for people-centric legislation," Gupta said. You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi A key agenda item for the session is a bill to regulate private school fees, based on an ordinance cleared by the Cabinet on April 29. The draft proposes strict penalties — ranging from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 10 lakh — for arbitrary fee hikes, and mandates refunds within 20 working days. Repeated violations could result in the school losing its right to propose fee revisions. If the refund isn't processed on time, the fine will double after 20 days, triple after 40, and continue to rise with every 20-day delay. Those repeatedly flouting norms may be barred from holding official posts in school management. The school may also forfeit its authority to revise fees. The ordinance aims to "strike a balance between preserving the autonomy of private institutions and safeguarding the rights of parents", while ensuring quality education remains "accessible and fairly priced". It also proposes setting up three committees — at the school, district, and revision levels— with the 'Revision Committee' holding final authority on disputes. The session is also expected to see the opposition AAP cornering BJP on civic issues, including waterlogging, Yamuna pollution, and drinking water supply. Officials said the NeVA training will serve as a precursor to the session, enabling paperless functioning and promoting transparency, efficiency, and sustainability. Eighteen computers have been installed at the new NeVA Training Centre. The first batch of MLAs will begin training on Monday. The launch reflects Delhi Assembly's push toward "modern, accountable, and citizen-centric legislative practices," Gupta said.

Legislators to get 3-day training on using NeVa: Speaker
Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta on Sunday announced a three-day training programme for all legislators to familiarise them with the National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA), a software which is aimed at enabling paperless functioning in the Assembly. The training will be provided to legislators from July 21-23 ahead of the Monsoon Session by trainers from the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs, Mr. Gupta said. 'The launch of the training centre and programme demonstrates the Delhi Legislative Assembly's proactive approach in aligning legislative procedures with the evolving demands of modern, accountable, and citizen-centric legislative practices,' Mr. Gupta said. The speaker had earlier announced that the Monsoon Session of the Delhi Assembly will take place in the last week of July or the first week of August. NeVA is a workflow system deployed on NIC Cloud, MeghRaj, which helps the chair of the House to conduct the proceedings smoothly. It will eliminate the process of sending out notices/requests for data collection. The application hosts a secure page for each member of the House for submitting questions and other notices. The project aims to bring all the legislators of the country together on one platform, thereby creating a massive data depository without having the complexity of multiple applications.
