I have always wondered who makes the government websites.
Now look at this: SAKSHAT – a “Complete Education Portal” inaugurated by our President and involves HRD ministry, Information ministry. The aim is to connect 50 crore Indians in next 5 years. I wonder what is the budget for this ambitious project. A few crores atleast? Though I am sure one can get a much better website done at RentACoder for less than 150 dollars.
The main page of the site is titled “Index”! Click on a link called Digital Literacy and you are taken to a new page titled – “Untitled document”. And lets not talk about the color scheme, usability, focus – this is “Sarkari” after all.
Who are the people who manage these projects? Have they seen the Internet of 2006? Did they even explore open source projects like Moodle? Do they really want this to serve any purpose?

Hello there ,
I am Kaustubha . I am also a websearcher. I also have collected a lot of websites of educational courses. You can find them on my websites http://www.xanga.com/kaustubha , http://www.kaustubha.blogspot.com. I am also using the websites of OCW the most. Recently I have signed up at http://www.sakshat.edu.in but I have not yet received any mail from the administrator about activation of my account Can you please help me out.My email address is ksgmhsg_21705@yahoo.co.in. The above mentioned urls are incorrect. Both the urls are separated by commas. Be very careful in clicking on them. There are two sites. I have even posted most of my day to day issues on them.
Regards
