The move aims to transform the functioning of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council into a completely digital, transparent, and paperless system. This initiative aligns with the vision of <strong>&#8220;One Nation, One Application&#8221;<\/strong>, which seeks to standardize legislative processes across all State and Union Territory legislatures in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"High-Level_Meeting_Accelerates_NeVA_Adoption\"><\/span>High-Level Meeting Accelerates NeVA Adoption<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A high-level meeting was held at Vidhan Bhawan in Mumbai involving officials from the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs, the Maharashtra Government, and the Maharashtra Legislature Secretariat. During the meeting, officials discussed software features, infrastructure requirements, financial assistance, implementation timelines, staff training, and the responsibilities of participating agencies. All stakeholders agreed to expedite the signing of a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which is necessary for the project&#8217;s implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_National_e-Vidhan_Application_NeVA\"><\/span>What is the National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA)?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NeVA is a <strong>Mission Mode Project<\/strong> of the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs under the Digital India Programme. It is designed to digitize the functioning of all <strong>37 State and Union Territory Legislatures<\/strong> through a unified digital platform. The application allows legislators to access legislative documents electronically, submit notices, ask questions, participate in legislative business, and monitor proceedings digitally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The platform replaces paper-based processes with secure digital workflows, making legislative functioning faster, more efficient, and environmentally friendly. Citizens also benefit by receiving easier access to legislative proceedings and official documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Financial_Support_and_Implementation_in_Maharashtra\"><\/span>Financial Support and Implementation in Maharashtra<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NeVA project has an overall approved outlay of <strong>\u20b9673.94 crore<\/strong> at the national level. For Maharashtra, the estimated implementation cost is approximately <strong>\u20b948 crore<\/strong>, covering both the Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council located in Mumbai and Nagpur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The implementation includes installation of modern ICT infrastructure, software deployment, digital workflow integration, and capacity building for legislators and legislative staff. The project is expected to improve administrative efficiency while reducing the use of paper and operational costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_for_Governance_and_Citizens\"><\/span>Benefits for Governance and Citizens<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The adoption of NeVA is expected to strengthen democratic governance by increasing transparency, accountability, and accessibility. Legislators will receive instant digital access to Bills, committee reports, notices, questions, and agendas, enabling quicker decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For citizens, the platform offers better public access to legislative proceedings, promoting informed participation and trust in democratic institutions. It also supports the government&#8217;s larger Digital India vision by encouraging paperless governance and sustainable administrative practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"National_Progress_of_NeVA\"><\/span>National Progress of NeVA<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">India has made significant progress in implementing NeVA across the country. As of July 2026, <strong>33 State and Union Territory Legislatures have signed MoUs<\/strong>, while <strong>21 Legislatures have already become fully digital Houses<\/strong>. Maharashtra&#8217;s adoption will further strengthen India&#8217;s journey towards creating a modern and digitally empowered legislative ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\" id=\"Maharashtra-Legislature-NeVA-implementation\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRqZPcifYu-XPdrz4ZAHN3ewUOCXM8uh8e2jgXCylHdeA&amp;s=10\" alt=\"Maharashtra Legislature NeVA implementation\" title=\"Maharashtra Legislature NeVA implementation\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Maharashtra Legislature NeVA implementation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"B_Why_This_News_is_Important\"><\/span>B) Why This News is Important<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_for_Governance_and_Polity\"><\/span>Important for Governance and Polity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The implementation of NeVA is highly relevant for government examinations because it represents a major reform in India&#8217;s legislative governance system.

It supports transparency, accountability, efficiency, and citizen participation while reducing paperwork and administrative delays. This reflects India&#8217;s broader objective of building a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Environmental_and_Administrative_Benefits\"><\/span>Environmental and Administrative Benefits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The paperless functioning of legislatures reduces paper consumption, lowers administrative costs, and speeds up legislative business.

The objective was to eliminate paper-based legislative work and establish a common digital ecosystem across all legislatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the years, several State Assemblies have adopted NeVA, demonstrating improved transparency, faster legislative processes, and better public accessibility.
