Prime Minister Narendra Modi's official website, www.pmindia.gov.in, got a new look on Wednesday with updated information about the work of the government over the past year and an interactive interface for people to share their ideas and suggestions.
The new look website was unveiled a day after the Modi government completed one year in office.
The interactive website, in bright but soothing colours and a detailed layout, focuses on initiatives of the government and the tasks it has laid for itself in the next four years.
Modi, who is social media savvy and uses technology to improve his connect with the people, has 12.6 million followers on Twitter on his handle @narendramodi, while the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) has 6.22 million followers on its Twitter handle @PMOIndia.
A new website of the PMO was also unveiled soon after Modi assumed office as prime minister on May 26 last year.
The revamped website has a section to interact with the prime minister.
