Himachal Pradesh is set to present India’s first ‘paperless’ budget on March 11.
According to reports, all documents related to budget estimates would be made available online and only around 10 budget copies would be printed for record.
All information would be uploaded on the e-Vidhan system. Chief minister Virbhadra Singh had inaugurated e-Vidhan on August 4, 2014.
HP Assembly Speaker BB Butail said that to ensure paperless work, the day-to-day functioning of the House is being done online. “So far, it has not only saved Rs 15 crore annually but also 6,000-odd trees.”
