SHIMLA:
Himachal Pradesh is set to become the country's first state to present
a 'paperless' budget on March 11. Since the state already has the
country's first green assembly, all documents related to budget
estimates would be made available online and only around 10 budget
copies would be printed for record.
Earlier, around 200 copies along with huge volumes of other documents used to be published during the budget session. Running the proceedings on e-Vidhan would save the state exchequer Rs 15 crore annually.
Confirming the e-plan, HP assembly Speaker BB Butail said only 10 or 15 copies of the budget would be published, that too for records. "Otherwise, no other paper document would be published as all information would be uploaded on the e-Vidhan system," he added.
Butail said the state assembly is the first to be selected for e-Vidhan programme. He said National Informatics Centre Services Inc was the implementing agency for the project. Ensuring paperless work, the day-to-day functioning of the House was done online and it not only saved Rs 15 crore annually but also 6,000-odd trees, he said.
Chief minister Virbhadra Singh had inaugurated e-Vidhan on August 4, 2014. "This is for the first time the budget session would be held under e-Vidhan," he added
