Portal:Government of India
This is not an article, but I would like to nominate here and want to know how it could be improved to make it featured portal. Portal is well formatted and documented. The portal has selected articles and selected lists on monthly basis. The portal has anniversary section as well. Shyam ( T / C ) 06:35, 12 October 2006 (UTC)


 * My comments


 * 1) The article should be rotated weekly - I think a month is too long.
 * 2) Selected picture?
 * 3) One very bad point is that section contains hardly any information on legislation or government schemes. I suggest you accumulate a list of important legislation, even the laws made in British times.
 * 4) Its important to recognize that politics and history are only so much - the issues of governance are more important. DYKs like "Jinnah House" - how is this connect to GOI?
 * 5) Also in the "News" - I'd like to see a fine line drawn between political events and government. For example, neither the Shiv Sena nor the MRS are part of the M'rashtra govt. So why is their clash given as news here?
 * 6) Focus more on institutions like CBI, Election Commission, ministries, the innumerable yojnas like family planning, rural employment, education, Golden Quadrilateral. Also stuff like autonomous councils for Gorkhaland, Bodoland, etc. This is, IMO the real government stuff.
 * 7) Articles like Human rights in India, Poverty in India etc. - broad discussions of governance (not just political!) issues are also relevant.
 * IMO, don't make the mistake of including many bio-datas of politicians - this is different from government. Rama's arrow  17:40, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) I would definitely want to see more data from state government levels - just to clarify, Indian states are not sovereign like U.S. states. Their governments are a part of GOI. Rama's arrow  17:41, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
