The Website of India - It's Official

Facts: india.gov.in This is the Official Portal of the Indian Government, designed, developed and hosted by National Informatics Centre (NIC), the premier ICT Organisation of the Government of India under the aegis of Department of Information Technology, Ministry of Communications & Information Technology.

Views: I was amazed to see a website that represents India and that's official. The IT has definitely taken the government by storm. No doubt Mr. L. K. Advani had to pose with a laptop for BJP's election campaign this year. After all today's generation will know the domain name of India's official website, but they'll not know where the local government offices are located. This is the information age. Information is everywhere but we don't really "know" anything. All we have to know is where to find the information. Reminds me of Juhi Chawla's dialogue in Duplicate when she tells her would-be mother-in-law that she doesn't know how to cook but can definitely make a list of items to cook. (For those who don't know, she was a manager in the hotel.) So, at least now we know where to find information about India - officially!
