Trilingual
websites for 100 government institutions from ICTA
The Information & Communication Technology Agency (100)
says it has designed trilingual websites for 100 government
institutions under its Re-engineering Government Programme.
“The project has been implemented to empower the state
sector from the Information and Communication Technology”,
said Project Manager Kanishka Karunasena.
“It has created the opportunity to provide correct and
updated information quickly on the services of government
institutions to the public, business community as well as
foreigners”, he pointed out.
The Financial and Technological assistance to design websites
for government institutions is provided by the Information
and Communication Technology Agency of Sri Lank (ICTA).
The benefit attained by the people especially in rural villages
is that they can obtain the expected service from the relevant
institution after being informed about it. Because information
is included on Government institutions in the websites people
can obtain services with preparation.
“Department of Pensions, Health Education Bureau, Water
Supply Board, Department of National Archives, Department
of Technical Education, Ministry of Higher Education, Commission
for Bribery or Corruption, Department of Registration of Persons,
Department of National Museum, Department of Management Services,
Department Registrar General and nearly 100 institutions have
been provided web facilities”, said Kanishka Karunasena.
The special feature of these websites is that anyone can browse
them through Sinhala, Tamil and English languages. New Unicode
facilities have been introduced to surf the site with ease.
Sinhala language Unicode can be download through the website
www.siyabas.lk while Tamil Unicode can be download by browsing
the website www.cmathumozhihal.lk
“The number of persons who obtains web facilities is
increasing day by day”, said Kanishka Karunasena. “However,
it is the responsibility of the relevant government institution
to update information in those websites and the technological
knowledge for this purpose is provided by the ICTA,”
he added.
Anyone can browse these websites through the Sri Lankan Government’s
official web portal www.gov.lk
