Domain with English name is no more difficulty for non-English speaking Indian people as the Indian Government has introduced a new dot Bharat (.Bharat) domain. The plus factor of this domain is its Devanagari script. It will support eight Indian languages including Hindi, Dogri, Bodo, Maithili, Konkani, Marathi, Nepali and Sindhi. This domain has been introduced to help non-english speaking people.
Ravi Shankar Prasad, Communications and IT Minister, has released this domain and made a promise of adding all other Indian languages in future. He said, "This initiative should not stop at eight languages. I asked the department to make .Bharat domain name available in all the Indian languages very soon."
National Internet Exchange of India and Centre for Development of Advanced Computing have worked together to develop this domain to make the India economically strong. This Hindi supported domain makes Indian people of rural areas comfortable to type the URL in their own language. It will also bring awareness in rural areas where people have lack of Internet knowledge.
"After the dot Bharat domain name, in some time we will launch six regional URLs in Bengali, Telegu, Tamil, Gujarati, Punjabi and Urdu," said NIXI chief executive, Govind. He also said, "This will help people in the villages and remote places. Hence it will help bridge the digital divide. This will also encourage generation of local content."
This is the program of Digital India initiative which has come to bring awareness in people of whole India for wireless telephony and broadband networks. Modi Government has planned to spend 20,000 crores for 55,000 villages to bring mobile connectivity in villages.
