According to the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs, 33 of the 37 State/UT legislatures have signed MoUs for the National e‑Vidhan Application (NeVA).

The NeVA project is funded at Rs 673.94 crore, with the Centre contributing Rs 423.60 crore, and Rs 23,58,20,600 has been sanctioned for the two houses of the Andhra Pradesh Legislature. A mid‑term evaluation states that digitisation has improved legislative efficiency, reduced reliance on paper, accelerated processing and dissemination of business, enhanced accessibility of information, and generated savings in printing, handling and storage. Technical support and capacity‑building are provided through the Central Project Management Unit in consultation with the respective legislatures.
