Sarkaritel.com: Government of India Ministries, Organisations and Institutions

The concept of this website was initiated in February 2000 with the sole objective of disseminating information related to the Government Sector which is useful to various users groups at large. To start with the basic contact details like website, e-mail, telephone and fax numbers of the Government hierarchy was put on the site. The information varied from the President of India, Prime Minister’s office, Council of Ministers, Government of India Ministries/ Departments, Public Sector undertakings, State Governments and Union Territories. Foreign Missions based in India, Indian Missions/ Posts abroad was hosted on the site and was updated regularly as and when there was a change in hierarchy. With this website became an instant hit.

The website http://www.sarkaritel.com was inaugurated by Shri Ram Vilas Paswan, then Union Communications Minister, Govt. of India, on August 27th, 2001, then Rajya Sabha Dy. Chairperson Dr. (Smt.) Najma Heptulla was the chief guest at the inaugural function with top bureaucrats, technocrats, information technology experts and students. The Ambassador of Peru was also present on the occasion. The Hindi version of the website was inaugurated by the then Hon’ble Lok Sabha Speaker, Shri Manohar Joshi on October 17th, 2002.

With time many value additions have been done on the website this includes news section (covers national & international news), corporate news, photo gallery section, useful public utility links health for all section. The website presently is being accessed from more than 125 countries with around 3.9 million hits per month. The website is not only popular in the Government sector but in the public sector. With a sustained encouragement and support from all our associates we are planning an e-newspaper which would further strengthen the website utility and enhance the user base. The site intends to promote the Government policies and programmes beneficial for the masses thus would act as a facilitator between the Government and the common man.

The website also intends to incorporate a section which would be devoted to e-commerce that would include online shopping of various products like air tickets, books etc. To add a new feather to the website a new section which would be devoted to the Diplomatic core would be added to the website. This would entail:

Basic contact details of the Embassy like address, telephone, fax, e-mail, website etc.,

News of the diplomatic core which would focus on bilateral ties, trade, economy, business, investment opportunities, current events organized by the Foreign missions, delegations coming from various countries,

Country profiles and demographic details,
