The Odisha Assembly is set to go paperless following the model of the e-Vidhan Sabha of Himachal Pradesh legislative assembly, Speaker Surjya Narayan Patro said on Tuesday.
The Odisha Assembly will be upgraded to e-Vidhan Sabha after the winter session.
"E-Vidhan Sabha is a concept and under that concept, there will not be any hard file. Everything will be done online. We visited Himachal Pradesh to see how the E-Vidhan Sabha is working there. The government will be able to save lakhs of rupees and even the paper," Patro told .
Patro stated that through this process not only the trees will be saved but this is a fast process to get done with the Assembly works.
"We also have the facility of video conferencing facility inside and outside the assembly. We have provided each minister with a system or laptop. We will give training to the ministers as well. No paper will be required so it is an economical means of working," he added.
