In a push for tech-savvy governance, Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren opened the NeVA Service Center in the Vidhan Sabha Wednesday amid the 2026 budget session. Tablets were distributed to lawmakers as part of the national e-Vidhan rollout.
The CM’s keynote underscored NeVA’s game-changing potential: transparent, speedy, and hassle-free lawmaking. Forget after-hours scrambles for submissions—digital tools handle it all, easing burdens on members and secretariat alike.
Following 20 states’ footsteps, Jharkhand integrates NeVA fully. Training covered app nuances, with devices handed out for immediate use. ‘This will define our legislative future,’ Soren affirmed.
Marking 25 years of statehood, the initiative aligns with broader digital adoption trends. Assembly speaker’s leadership drives the paperless agenda, enhancing communication and efficiency.
Real talk on teething issues: training counters them effectively. Cyber threats loom large, demanding strict protocols to avoid data breaches or alterations.
Soren and Speaker Rabindra Nath Mahto led the tablet distribution to VIPs. A full house of ministers, MLAs, and staff celebrated the digital leap forward.
