This Knowledge Blog is to highlight the purpose of strategizing and incorporating a Content Management Framework #CMF for the Government of India. In this Blog #TWN will cover the best practices stipulated in the CMF.
The Content Management Framework was envisioned as a standardized framework that should be used for the websites and portals #DigitalPlatforms of Central Government Ministries and Departments. Content Management Framework comes under the Digital India Programme for Government Websites.
It is imperative that Government Websites implement qualitative and quantitative transformations as a result of the changing expectations of users, given the increasing diversity of the ICT Landscape.

CMF will be used to develop citizen-centric, universally accessible websites by 100 Central Government Ministries/ Departments.
