Committee Composition

T he National Informatics Centre has taken the initiative to develop guidelines for the

National Portal of India Project. These guidelines were created after extensive
consultation with representatives from various Indian government organisations at
both the central and state levels, as well as established guidelines from other
countries and international bodies such as ISO and W3C.

The current version of the guidelines has made several significant improvements. It includes
upgraded accessibility guidelines to ensure that websites and apps can be used by the widest
possible audience. A new chapter on security has been added to help prevent cyber threats and
protect user data. Furthermore, the guidelines have been organised in a stakeholder-wise manner,
providing separate views for developers, owner organisation - web information managers and
stakeholders.
