With diversification of ICT landscape, it has become absolutely imperative for Government Websites to bring in qualitative and quantitative transformations in wake of changing user expectations. As a part of the Digital India Programme, it was envisaged that a standardized framework need to be implemented for Central Government Websites to improve the presentation, usability and consistency. The Content Management Framework (CMF) project has been initiated with the view of standardization and improvement in presentation and content delivery of Central Government Ministry/ Department websites. The CMF is currently planned to be rolled out for the websites of 100 Central Government Ministries/ Departments to foster the development of citizen centric and universally accessible websites.
CMF scheme is primarily directed towards making Government Websites more usable, user centric and accessible. It shall help Web Managers in developing better understanding of comprehensible web designs & technologies and in turn improved management of their websites and portals. They shall be able to get their high quality websites developed at lesser cost & efforts.
CMF enabled websites would immensely benefit the citizens, businesses as well as Indian diaspora. With universally accessible citizen-centric websites, users can easily navigate and search for the content they are looking for. Besides information, they can avail schemes/ services on anytime, anywhere basis.

Content Management Framework, Government Website based on open source technology, facilitates standardization and improvement in presentation and content delivery of Government websites. CMF enables static websites to migrate to dynamic portals and a set of functional features along with embedded modules are available for the websites of Ministries/ Departments on adoption of CMF.
