Odisha Assembly: Odisha Assembly Goes Paperless: MLAs to Receive Tech Training | Bhubaneswar News
Bhubaneswar: Odisha assembly speaker Surama Padhy announced on Saturday that the entire assembly will become paperless. All old and new MLAs will be trained in the use of technology. The process is expected to be completed in two years.
Padhy said the National eVidhan Application (NeVA) has taken the responsibility for complete digitisation of Odisha Legislative Assembly.
The work has already started. “A training programme was organized on Saturday for officers of District Information Centres (DICs) to familiarize them with NeVA process,” she added.
“Our target is to make the state assembly paperless. I hope we will achieve this target within two years. We plan to provide training to MLAs through NeVA. The previous govt had taken steps to make the assembly work paperless.
Tablets have been installed on each MLA’s table in the assembly so that paper is not required,” said Padhy.
She said legislators and the assembly staff will become acquainted with technology for the smooth operation of the House. Earlier, BJD govt presented a paperless budget.
The assembly has also made questions and answers available on NeVA portal for public consumption.
Official sources said digitization will create an environment-friendly workspace in the assembly.
It will provide details regarding all activities inside the assembly, including question hour, presentation of bills, and discussions on those matters. The project will be accelerated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI).
Assembly secretary Dasarathi Mishra said digitisation will ensure transparency in the functioning of the House and save time for both govt and opposition parties.
“It will provide information from the district-level to all MLAs in the state,” he added.
