Indian Parliament has launched the ‘Digital Sansad App’ to make the Parliament proceedings accessible not just to the members but also to the public at large. With this move, Parliament has expanded its digital footprint. The Digital Sansad App is an initiative of Lok Sabha Speaker, Om Birla who has been constantly working to make the Parliament proceedings more accessible. The launch of the ‘Digital’ Sansad App’ will also be significant ahead of the Budget Session 2022 which will be presented by the Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on February 1, 2022.
अपने नीति निर्णयों से आमजन को अवगत करवाना जहां लोकहित को प्रतिबद्ध विधायिका का दायित्व है, वहीं सरकार के कार्यों की जानकारी रखना जिम्मेदार नागरिक की पहचान है। ‘#DigitalSansad’ ऐप इस समावेशी ध्येय को पूरा करता है। संसद के विमर्श से लेकर आगामी बजट अब इस ऐप पर उपलब्ध होगा।
