After inaugurating the two-day workshop of National e-Vidhan Application (NIVA) in Panchkula on Thursday, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Thursday said that a glimpse of e-Vidhan Sabha will be visible in the upcoming Vidhan Sabha session where Tablets will be seen in front of the MLAs.
Addressing the legislators, the Chief Minister said that there will be hesitation in adopting it in the beginning but if you try slowly then you will be proficient in it. E-Vidhan Sabha will also prove useful from an environmental point of view, this system will make the Vidhan Sabha paperless, saving paper and therefore trees.
Khattar said that Haryana will soon get a new Vidhan Sabha building and after the construction of the new building, the existing building of Haryana Vidhan Sabha will also remain.The need for a new Vidhan Sabha building was being felt, he said, adding that if the number of MLAs increases in future, then there is no place to increase the seats in the current Vidhan Sabha. Due to this it has been decided to have a new Vidhan Sabha building. The Chief Minister said that a beautiful building of Haryana Vidhan Sabha will be constructed.
He said that the step taken by Haryana Vidhan Sabha for e-Vidhan Sabha will prove to be a milestone. "Today the whole world is moving towards digitalisation. If we want to move with the new generation, then we have to use computers," he said.
The Chief Minister said that through National e-Vidhan Application (NIVA) we can see the functioning of not only Haryana Vidhan Sabha but Lok Sabha as well as Vidhan Sabhas of other states. Along with this, you will also be able to compare the work of other assemblies. He said that big paper bundles of bills, notifications, question-answers etc. to be introduced in the Assembly used to be carried, but now all these will be present on the screen of our tablet. He emphasized that the functioning of the e-Vidhan Sabha should be done through a mock e-session with all the MLAs in their seats.
