Posted by Pallav Sharda in : Governmental , trackbackDid you ever wonder where was the official Indian government website? Well, I did. That’s how I found the National Portal of India. Its a good looking page, even looks a bit graceful even after being content-heavy. Heck, there is a ‘webcast’ section too; in case you missed the Republic Day parade. Realizing that it’s very tough to make a usable site for such massive content and audience, I think they did a very good job.
Speaking of ‘official’ representative site- it turns out that there is more than one (!). India Image is (another) Official Government of India portal since 1996, developed with an aim to provide comprehensive information about India and its various facets including its Government, heritage, economy, news, online citizen services etc. It’s a more fact oriented website albeit it’s less usable (unnecessary flashing/blinking graphics in multiple places).
Overall, two good places for generic, factual and official information about India.

I want the website for DOPT where I can seek some clarification.
