LexisGreen™ has actually helped the venture of the government by making authoritative legal literature available in the market on a pen drive.” Mr. P.K. Malhotra added that to achieve a truly efficient faceless, paperless and cashless system, “Technology should be made user-friendly.” He congratulated LexisNexis on its e-initiative that helps saving time and space and is also user and environment friendly.
