Postal workers are not likely to be pleased, but the government has opened an e-Greetings website as part of its Digital India initiative in the hope that people will use this eco-friendly way to wish friends, colleagues and loved ones. You simply have to go to the online portal, pick an e-card which catches your eye, customize it and then send it via email.
The e-Greetings cards are separated into four main sections covering Heritage, Celebration, Glimpses of India and Festivals, while each of these categories are further divided into even more sub-sections. Once you’ve selected a card, you get to leaf through various personalization options starting from the heading which can say e-Greetings, DEITY or NIC.
Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DEITY) received 3572 entries for greeting card designs and 14 of the best cards are lined up to get cash prizes in order to offer people an incentive to participate in such initiatives. You have to go to this page and but before that, register for an account with the government’s email service, MyGov or the India Gov platform in order to send an e-card from the website.
The eGreetings portal was announced by Communications and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, who stressed on the government’s Digital India initiative. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is keen to start off an IT revolution in the nation and make sure that every region is connected to the internet. There are plans to spend Rs 500 crores in this fiscal on the venture.
As for the e-Greetings card, apart from changing the logo, you can also alter the font style and shade. The background hue may be tweaked to suit your taste and you can send your well wishes to loved ones with your very own message as well as an optional quote from the Prime Minister written on it.
