Launch of 'The National Portal of India'

Thiru. Dayanidhi Maran, Hon'ble Minister of India, officially launched the national portal of India - india.gov.in at 3:00 pm today and dedicated it to the citizens of India.

It is needlessly heavy in the use of the images, but has got some good content in it and is way better than the other (indian) government related websites that i have seen. for example, navigation is extremely good and no part of the webiste (that i have come across) is broken. except for the home page, the other pages are light on the bandwidth. hope the website is maintained well and doesn't remain the same as it's created for all its life.

From the website : "This is the National Portal of the India, developed with an objective to enable a single window access to information and services being provided by the various Indian Government entities."
