Telecommunications and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad Wednesday
unveiled the dot Bharat domain name, an official statement said in New Delhi.
Most
of the future expansion of the internet is going to come from Asia,
Africa and the developing world. Local languages, content and culture
will increasingly become important themes for the future expansion of
the internet, the minister said, adding that mobile devices and
applications as well as social media will be important determinants of
this growth.
The National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) and
the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) have been
working for the last two years on the dot Bharat domain name.
The
dot Bharat ccTLD (country code top-level domain) is shared by other
Indian languages such as Boro, Dogri, Konkani, Maithili, Marathi, Nepali
and Sindhi-Devanagari and the end user can now get domain names in
these languages apart from Hindi, the statement said.
This is
soon to be followed in the coming months by similar launches in regional
languages such as Tamil, Gujarati, Punjabi, Urdu, Telugu and Bangla.
The
minister said e-commerce is going to bring in revolutionary changes in
the economic activities of rural India. It will not only generate new
jobs but also create large number of business opportunities for all
sections of populations in rural India.
He said Digital India
project is aiming to offer a one-stop shop for government services and
would use the mobile phone as the backbone of its delivery mechanism.
Digital India promises to transform India into a connected knowledge
economy offering world-class services at the click of a mouse and will
be implemented in a phased manner.
