Context
Recently, the Lok Sabha Speaker launched the official mobile application of the Parliament named ‘Digital Sansad App’.
About the Digital Sansad Ap
- Digital Sansad App is an empowering realisation of Parliament’s holistic efforts to keep progressing towards the goal.
- Through the Digital Sansad App, citizens will be able to watch the Parliamentary proceedings activities in the Parliament as well as the initiatives taken by the temple of democracy at the click of a button on the phone.
- Through the Digital Sansad App, citizens can check what their members of Parliament are doing, what debates they are participating in and what they are saying.
- Using the app, parliamentarians can also digitally log their attendance.
- The app contains information on budget speeches since 1947 as well as House discussions from the 12th Lok Sabha to 17th Lok Sabha.
- The app offers a 360-degree view of legislative activities and services for members.
- Apart from proceedings in the current House, the app will help people in accessing archival data related to all Lok Sabhas.
- It will also contain a live telecast of Sansad proceedings.
- The 2022 Budget session can also be watched live on this App.
Significance
- Members of parliament will get access services like checking personal updates viz., House bulletins, the status of their notices, etc.
- MPs are barred from using laptops inside the house. Thus, this app will become handy for MPs to get parliamentary information during any debate in the House.
- In future, this app will help MPs to log in for attendance, give questions for the Question Hour as well as submit notices for debates or adjournment motions.
