Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The first general elections in India were held in 1951-52. Back then, voters would stamp the ballot paper with their choice of candidates. However, in 1999, the Goa assembly's general election (statewide) saw the first usage of electronic voting machines(EVMs). Encouraged by the usage of EVMs in all states and by-elections in 2003, the Election Commission decided to use them exclusively for the Lok Sabha elections in 2004. Nowadays, votes are recorded using electronic voting machines (EVMs). The device displays the candidate names and party symbols.
The correct statement would be that Electronic Voting Machines were not used for polling since the first general elections in India.
