Published: Jul 31, 2025

By TIOLCorplaws News Service

NEW DELHI, JULY 31, 2025: FOLLOWING technological features have been added to National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA) to increase linguistic inclusiveness in various State Legislatures:

- Text-to-Text Machine Translation through Bhashini has been integrated to translate the NeVA public portals (homepage and State Assembly portals) into the 22 scheduled regional languages and English, thereby, ensuring linguistic inclusiveness.

- A Unicode based encoding architecture is employed for all content input, storage and retrieval ensuring interoperability within the Content Management System (CMS) of the application and enabling multilingual access.

Public Investment Board (PIB) has sanctioned the NeVA project with a total cost outlay of Rs 673.94 crore. The project follows a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) funding pattern as under:

- For North Eastern and Hilly States funding will be in the ratio of 90:10.

- For Union Territories having Legislatures funding will be 100% by the Centre.

- For all other States funding will be in the ratio of 60:40

A total of 28 State/UT legislatures have signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoUs) for the adoption of NeVA.

Till June 2025, 19 State/UT legislatures have successfully transformed themselves into fully digital Vidhan Sabhas through the NeVA platform.

This information was given by the Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs and Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Law and Justice Arjun Ram Meghwal in a written reply in the Lok Sabha yesterday.
