The Senate Secretariat is set to introduce a comprehensive mobile application for Members of the Senate as part of a major digital transformation initiative led by Chairman Senate Senator Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani.
The initiative marks a significant step toward institutional modernization and digital governance, reflecting the Chairman Senate’s vision of creating a technologically advanced, efficient, and environmentally responsible parliamentary institution. The application has been developed using indigenous resources and the professional expertise available within the Senate Secretariat.
The progress of the project was reviewed during a meeting held at Parliament House, where Secretary Senate Syed Hasnain Haider briefed the Chairman Senate and committee members on the application’s development, key features, and expected benefits.
Speaking during the meeting, Senator Gilani emphasized that the initiative supports the broader implementation of the e-Office concept within the Senate Secretariat. He noted that digitalization would improve efficiency, reduce paperwork, enhance transparency, and provide quicker access to official information. He also highlighted the environmental benefits of reducing paper consumption and minimizing administrative delays.
According to the Senate Secretary, the user-friendly application has been designed to provide Senators with secure and convenient access to parliamentary business and official information through their mobile devices. The platform will offer real-time access to Senate proceedings, legislative business, committee information, official notifications, parliamentary documents, schedules, and other essential resources.
The application has been developed with a strong focus on security, accessibility, and ease of use to ensure a seamless digital experience for Members of the Upper House. Officials believe the platform will significantly improve communication, accessibility, and workflow management within the Senate.
Chairman Senate appreciated the efforts of Senate Secretariat officers and the technical team involved in the project, describing the application as a major advancement toward a digitally empowered Senate. He stated that adopting modern technological solutions would save time and resources while strengthening institutional effectiveness and service delivery.
The meeting was informed that the Senate Mobile Application will be formally launched in the near future. Following its inauguration, a comprehensive orientation session will be organized to familiarize Senators with the application’s features and ensure its effective utilization.
Reaffirming his commitment to modern governance practices, Senator Gilani stated that the Senate Secretariat would continue embracing innovation, technology, and sustainable administrative practices to meet the evolving needs of a modern legislature.
The meeting was attended by Senators Nasir Mehmood Butt, Aamir Waliuddin Chishti, Abdul Qadir, and Samina Mumtaz Zehri, along with senior officers of the Senate Secretariat.
