The Agri Welfare Portal has been developed in line with the DBIM 3.0 and GIGW 3.0 standards of which ministry?
- A.Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare
- B.Ministry of Rural Development
- C.Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology
- D.Ministry of Information and Broadcasting
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. The DBIM and GIGW standards, in their 3.0 versions, are the government’s norms for the look, the security and the accessibility of official websites, and the new portal has been built to follow them. That is what makes it secure, mobile friendly and usable by persons with disabilities, including visually impaired users who rely on a screen reader and simple navigation. Option A is wrong because the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare owns and launched the portal, but it is not the ministry that frames these web standards. Option B is wrong for the same reason, although the minister who launched the portal also holds the rural development portfolio. Option D is wrong because the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has no role in laying down these website standards. For the examination, link DBIM 3.0 and GIGW 3.0 to MeitY and remember that the portal also runs well on a weak rural network.
