Kerala Assembly Adopts Touchscreen System for Supplementary Questions
The Kerala Legislative Assembly has introduced a touchscreen system allowing members to signal their intent to ask supplementary questions by tapping monitors at their seats, replacing the traditional hand-raising method. This change is part of the e-Niyamasabha project aimed at digitizing the assembly and making it paperless. Each MLA has a 21-inch touchscreen to request permission and communicate with the Speaker. The initiative, costing around Rs 40 crore, also includes iPads for members' use outside the House.
