These upgrades under NeVA 2.0 shall further enhance the software to achieve a paperless legislative environment and promote real-time governance

Further, based on the recommendation in the 28^th report of Committee on Subordinate Legislation (COSL), Lok Sabha, this Ministry has developed a portal, which will provide a single window interface to bring four stakeholders i.e. i) All Ministries /Departments under Government of India ii) Cabinet Secretariat (iii) Legislative Department and iv) Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs on a single platform. This initiative will lead to better decision-making and early framing of Subordinate Legislations under different Acts.

The portal related to Consultative Committee Management System (CCMS) has been envisioned and designed to bring three stakeholders  viz. i) Hon’ble Members of Parliament  ii) Ministries of Govt. of India iii) Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs, of the Consultative Committees on the same platform. With the help of this portal, all information/documents of the Committees will be available on real time basis to concerned Member/Ministry thereby ensuring that all are well informed and they can interact digitally with each other.

The NYPS Portal 2.0 has been developed by the Ministry so that the number of participation in the portal can be increased exponentially by opening the Portal for all the citizens of the country irrespective of students of recognized educational institutions. Now, participation in the Scheme can be also be done through Institution Participation, Group Participation and  Individual Participation. It would ultimately help in the spread of democratic ethos and values among students and youth and outreach would increase manifold.

Similarly, the Ministry is also launching a new Scheme of National Youth Parliament Competition for the students of Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRSs). The aims and objectives of the Scheme is to strengthen the roots of democracy, develop tolerance of divergent views,  inculcate healthy habits of discipline and familiarise with the working of Parliament and Parliamentary institutions in the tribal students through organising National Youth Parliament Competitions annually among the EMRSs.
