New Delhi, March 21 Ahead of the Delhi Legislative Assembly's Budget Session, Speaker Vijender Gupta on Friday emphasized the need for "mutual respect" within the House, while reviewing its preparedness.
"The upcoming Budget session must reflect the highest parliamentary traditions, where debate is informed, conduct is measured, and every intervention contributes meaningfully to the public good," Gupta said.
The second part of the Fourth Session (Budget Session) of the Eighth Legislative Assembly will be held from March 23 to March 25, he added.
The speaker assessed operational and procedural readiness, with officials stating that coordination among legislative, security, and technical teams has been ensured for the smooth conduct of proceedings.
As part of efforts to modernize functioning, tablets have been installed on the desks of all members to enable real-time access to legislative business and official documents.
"In a first-of-its-kind initiative, the assembly will also introduce 'Vidhan Sathi', an in-house AI-enabled chatbot to assist members with legislative research," Gupta said.
The speaker also said that the full rendition of 'Vande Mataram' will be performed live at the commencement of each sitting and displayed on screens inside the House.
