Government websites transition to Hindi web addresses

The government has made a significant move to promote Indian languages online. Many government websites can now be accessed using Hindi web addresses, which means the reliance on English is set to diminish. By implementing Hindi web addresses, the government aims to create a more user-friendly Internet experience. In the years ahead, Indian languages, particularly Hindi, will gain widespread acceptance. This development will enable people who aren't proficient in English to access any website simply by typing in Hindi. With the introduction of Internationalised Domain Names (IDNs) as part of the Universal Acceptance Initiative, users can now create web addresses and email IDs in a variety of Indian languages. For instance, the URL for India's Home Ministry is now available in Hindi. Users can access this website by entering either mha.gov.in or गृहमंत्रालय.सरकार.भारत, as it is accessible in both English and Hindi.
