Murugan, Union Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs and Information & Broadcasting. A key highlight of the conference was the unanimous adoption of the New Delhi Resolution on NeVA 2025, reaffirming the collective commitment of all participating Legislatures to the horizontal expansion of NeVA (bringing more Houses onto the platform) and its vertical expansion through deeper utilisation of advanced modules and complete digitisation of legislative processes.
