The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology is currently working on an initiative to improve the performance of government websites and services to make them accessible, reducing website loading time and enhancing the overall working conditions of digital apps and websites.
According to a senior government official, the electronics and IT ministry aims to ameliorate government-to-government, government-to-business and government-to-citizen digital space to make them accessible for everyone including those with disabilities.

The government websites and other digital applications will be revamped and upgraded as an initial betterment. The ministry will anchor this project and further suggest ways to improve the performance, especially the loading time. When we look at a government website all the necessary information is listed on the first page which takes comparatively a long time to access it.
The new plan to enhance its usability would make the “user interface” (UI is the point of human-computer interaction and communication in a device) cleaner to avoid the bunglesome arrangement of information. This would help the user to gather selective data on the website. It will improve the overall experience and visibility of all official applications and services, it was said in a report by ET.

There are a lot of apps and website services handled by the government for digital purposes. It includes applications like DigiLocker (access to documents stored in clouds, mParivahan (vehicle-related app), UMANG ( local to central services) and many more developed by the electronic and IT ministry for the digital India initiative.
The major concern is that the traffic at the same time on the websites and apps would delay its accessibility and too much information on the homepage may burden the users to gather the required data from them. The new initiative will reduce this risk and enhance its online performance by designing a pristine and user-friendly landing page.
