1. Background And Need For Redesigning of Website

There has been a long felt need for comprehensive guidelines for development and
management of Govt. Websites given that the government departments are increasingly using
website as a tool for interface with the citizens.

1.1 Background
India’s digital penetration has increased tremendously in past few years. Internet on mobile
phones, websites and mobile apps are becoming widely used media for delivery of services across
the country. Realising this, the Indian Government has also laid emphasis on delivery of services
through various online channels. As of today, there are more than 8000 Government websites in
India and hundreds of official mobile apps. A close look at these websites and apps reveal that most
of the important government entities have already established their presence on the internet.
However, these websites and apps follow different Technology Standards, Design Layouts,
Navigation Architecture, or, in simple terms, different look and feel as well as functionality. This
invariably requires a common citizen to familiarize himself/herself with the functionality of each
individual website which results in a lot of inconvenience, thus defeating the very purpose of these
websites and apps

1.2 What is Compliance with GIGW

Compliance with GIGW ensures that a website is user-centric, usable, & universally accessible
at all stages: starting from launch, continuing during its operations &maintenance.
GIGW promotes standards that are broadly placed in three categories: advisory, mandatory,
& voluntary. Mandatory standards are the minimum criteria that every website MUST meet;
advisory standards are the guidelines that websites SHOULD endeavor to comply with; & voluntary
standards are those which websites MAY adopt based on their discretion.
GIGW Compliance matrix provides a checklist of 115 mandatory guidelines/checkpoints.
Majority of these checkpoints relate to the front end of the website (accessibility, identity, content,
and design) while others relate to backend policies, processes and plans to enable better
management of websites. These 115 checkpoints are exhaustive and cover all the possible scenarios
that may apply to the entire universe of government websites. There may be few government
websites to which each of the 115 checkpoints may be applicable. A majority of government

Confidential Information | Copyright  UPDESCO., Lucknow (U.P.) India – 2020-21 Page 2 of 27

websites may be such that while most of the 115 checkpoints would apply, some checkpoints may
not be applicable.

1.3 Basics of GIGW (Guidelines for Indian Government Websites)

These Guidelines have been framed with an objective to make the Indian Government
Websites conform to the essential pre-requisites of UUU trilogy i.e. Usable, User-Centric and
Universally Accessible. They also form the basis for obtaining Website Quality Certification from
STQC (Standardization Testing Quality Certification) an organization of Department of Information
Technology, Government of India. These Guidelines are based on International Standards including
ISO 23026, W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, Disability Act of India as well as Information
Technology Act of India. Under the National Portal India project, all government departments have
to mandatorily re – design, refurbish and maintain their website according to guidelines framed by
Government of India (GIGW). These guidelines and some of the essential features a website should
have are:
 CMS (Content Management System)
 Security Audit through CERT-IN
 Website quality certification from STQC as per GIGW
 Government of India Guidelines for Websites (GIGW)
 W3C and WCAG 2.0 A Standards.
 Government of India Identifiers
 International Standards including ISO 23026
 Disability Act of India
 Information Technology Act of India
 Quality of Content
 Hosting of website
 Promotion of website
 Maintenance of website
 Content Advisory Committee
 Feedback from Government Departments
 Experts in IT and Government processes

1.4 Need for Redesigning of Website

Websites are an ideal way of Government departments to disseminate information to a large
number of citizens. It is also a convenient way to make delivery of departmental services available to
the public anytime and anywhere. As per the directions from Government of India, it is desired that

Confidential Information | Copyright  UPDESCO., Lucknow (U.P.) India – 2020-21 Page 3 of 27

the State Government Departments and other entities falling within the jurisdiction of the State
Government, should create and maintain a website as per the standard guidelines defined by
Government of India and other International Agencies.

1.5 CMS (Content Management System)

A Content Management System (CMS) is the software used for
creating and managing website content. It is used to manage and
control a large, dynamic collection of content on a
website/portal (HTML documents and their associated
documents and files). CMS facilitates content creation, content
control, editing, and many essential content maintenance
functions. Usually the software provides interface where users
with little or no knowledge of programming languages and
markup languages can create and manage content with relative
ease of use.
A wide variety of CMS solutions are available right from customized CMS to enterprise class CMS
software available commercially as well as in free domain. Ease of use, support for a variety of
content, automated templates, content workflow management are some of the features to be looked
into in CMS software. For small scale websites, developers could also develop website specific CMS
solutions, as it may turn out to be cost effective in many instances.

1.6 Security Audit through CERT-IN

The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) is
a national initiative to tackle emerging challenges in the area of
information security and country level security risks and
vulnerabilities incidents as and when they happen.
In its effort to create a qualified panel of Security Auditing organization, Cert-In has adopted
stringent process to evaluate the participants. This is to verify the participating organizations
technical knowledge and skill to perform an Information security audit. The certification process
involves online practical test and conducting real world Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration
testing on a web-server hosted by CERT-In.

1.7 Website quality certification from STQC as per GIGW

Websites and portals have emerged as the front end for Government
initiatives and companies to deliver a wide variety of information and
services to its customers and citizens. Customers and citizens have high

Confidential Information | Copyright  UPDESCO., Lucknow (U.P.) India – 2020-21 Page 4 of 27

expectations regarding security, privacy of personal data and accuracy of
information. It is therefore vital to ensure that the management of your
website is carried out in a planned and professional manner, ensuring
effective communication and delivery of services.
STQC has developed a Website Quality Certification Scheme based upon National and
International Standards / Best practices. The certification in scheme aims to help in hardening of
websites from wide range of Security threats, increasing accessibility, assuring commitment to
services and ensuring compliance to the requirements of Guidelines for Indian
Government Websites (GIGW) developed by National Informatics Centre (NIC) and adopted by
Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG), Government of India.

1.8 Standards
W3C and WCAG 2.0

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) is developed through

the W3C process in cooperation with individuals and organizations
around the world, with a goal of proving a single shared standard for

Web content accessibility that meets the needs of individuals, organizations, and
governments internationally. The WCAG documents explain how to make web content more
accessible to people with disabilities. Web "content" generally refers to the information in a web
page or web application, including:
 Natural information such as text, images, and sounds.
 Code or markup that defines structure, presentation, etc.
WCAG 2.0 is a stable, reference able technical standard. It has 12 guidelines that are
organized under 4 principles: perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. For each guideline,
there are testable success criteria, which are at three levels: A, AA, and AAA.

1.9 Focus Area of GIGW

Confidential Information | Copyright  UPDESCO., Lucknow (U.P.) India – 2020-21 Page 5 of 27

 1.10 Compliance points of GIGW (Guide Lines)
Compliance to these guidelines will make the websites accessible to persons with various
disabilities like low vision, deafness and hearing loss, learning disabilities, cognitive limitations,
limited movement, speech disabilities and combinations of these which may otherwise hinder access
