As part of the prime minister’s ‘Digital India’ programme, the defence ministry has re-designed the website of Department of Defence Production (DDP).The website is now more user centric, user friendly, universally accessible and less vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Web pages have been made responsive and easy to access through different devices i.e. desktop, tablet PCs and mobile phones with varying screen sizes. The website has also been optimized for viewing by different browsers and operating systems.
The website of DDP provides news updates, policies, procedures, publications, directory of officials and media contents such as e-book, photo-gallery etc. A link for online service of the Department – ‘Application for NoC for Export of Military Stores’ has been provided.
The website is interactive and suggestions and clarifications related to defence production can be given or sought through the online feedback form. Another feature of the website is its accessibility by visually impaired persons and persons with motor disabilities, who can access the web content using screen readers and other assistive technologies through accessibility links and icons conveniently placed on the standardized header and footer.
The revamped website has given comprehensive link to websites maintained by various wings and organisations under the department such as ‘Make in India’ defence portal, Ordnance Factory Board, DGQA, Directorate of Standardisation, Defence Offset Management Wing and websites of nine Defence Public Sector Undertakings.
