New Delhi [India], April 7 (ANI): Delhi IT Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh during a review meeting of the IT department on Monday called for the Delhi Government web portal to provide seamless access to public services.

While reviewing the proposed advanced version of the Delhi Government web portal, Pankaj Kumar Singh emphasized, 'To ensure ease of navigation for citizens, public services should be prominently accessible from a separate tab on the homepage of the Delhi Government portal. Essential services such as government e-services, Water, Sewerage, Health, PWD and other public welfare related services are to be displayed upfront, making them more user-friendly and accessible.'

The Delhi Minister highlighted the need for timely updates across all department websites and emphasized that each department carries out regular updates through their respective Heads of Departments (HODs).

The upcoming Delhi Government portal will cater to more than 100 departments, featuring dynamic content, language support, and compatibility with all major browsers. Security, speed, and ease of use are central to the development process. The portal is being developed using open-source Drupal technology and will be hosted on scalable cloud infrastructure, ensuring high availability and resilience.
