The prized web entity of every Indian, http://india.gov.in, was recently decorated with the top public choice award for the Best e-Governance Portal by the e-World Forum at a glittering function in New Delhi.
Voted as the Best e-Gov Portal by the public, http://india.gov.in scored high owing to its unique position as the Single-Window Access to over 7000 portals and websites associated with the Government of India.
