Lok Sabha to go paperless next session

In an effort to cut down costs, the Lok Sabha will soon go paperless. 

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said the lower house will adopt paperless mode from the next session. It will help the Centre save crores, he added.

Members will be asked their preference between hardcopy and e-copy.  The house proceedings and other documents will be provided online.

The Speaker will also encourage the members to use e-copy of parliamentary papers. “We want next parliament to be paperless. We are trying, you have to prepare for it in next two-and-a-half months,” he said.

Birla further suggested that MPs can keep personal assistants and see the required information online. 

“Our effort should be to properly use every penny spent on parliament,” he said.
