The ministry of electronics and information technology will anchor this project and suggest ways to improve page and website loading times, have better user interfaces on websites and apps, and make them more accessible for people with disabilities, the official said.
“If you see the government websites of today, almost all the information is presented on the first landing page. This makes them (websites) slow. We plan to not only improve the accessibility for such websites but also make the UI (user interface) cleaner so that the user is not burdened with a lot of information at the same time,” the official said.
In the initial phase, all the government websites and applications of the IT ministry will be upgraded to make them more accessible. These upgrades and revamps are a part of the IT ministry’s plan to improve the overall global visibility of the Indian government’s apps and services, another official said.
“So, for example, we have a user who can not see very well. Why can a government website or app not have the option of narrating the contents to such users and guiding them to their choice effortlessly? If there is a need to integrate Bhashini, we can surely look into that as well,” the official said.
