  • MSDE Unveils DBIM-Compliant Website – NRI News

    MUMBAI: In a significant step toward strengthening India’s digital governance ecosystem, the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) today launched its DBIM-compliant website, developed in alignment with the Digital Brand Identity Manual (DBIM) Version 3.0 introduced by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).

    The newly launched website enhances accessibility, uniformity, and ease of navigation for users, featuring AI-powered search, multi-language support through Bhashini, persona-led navigation, and centralized content management. With its three-click approach, it ensures citizens can seamlessly access essential services and skilling resources.

    Launching the revamped website, Hon’ble Minister of State (Independent Charge), MSDE, said: “The DBIM framework strengthens the government’s vision of ‘Minimum Government, Maximum Governance’ by creating a unified and citizen-centric digital ecosystem. As India’s digital economy expands, a standardized and seamless service delivery model is crucial. Our Ministry’s website, aligned with DBIM 3.0, ensures that skilling opportunities are more accessible, inclusive, and efficient for every citizen.”

    “Congratulations to the MSDE IT team and NIC for their efforts in making this possible. I encourage all stakeholders to explore the website and leverage its enhanced features for seamless access to skilling initiatives and resources.”

    The MSDE website serves as a one-stop digital hub showcasing all flagship schemes and initiatives of the Ministry, including Skill India Mission, Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS), and more. Each initiative is seamlessly linked to its respective dashboard, portals, and resources, ensuring real-time access to data, performance metrics, and impact stories. The website’s integrated design enhances transparency and enables stakeholders, industries, and citizens to easily explore skilling opportunities, track progress, and engage with government programs more efficiently.

    The DBIM framework, introduced by MeitY, ensures a consistent digital presence across all government ministries and platforms, fostering a seamless, integrated, and transparent governance approach. MSDE is among the first five ministries to transition to this new system, reflecting its commitment to leveraging technology for efficient public service delivery.

    The Minister further urged all MSDE-operated portals to adopt DBIM standards soon, ensuring standardized governance across all digital platforms under the Skill India Mission.

  • TRAI tells mobile firms to enhance apps, web portals to curb spam messages

    TELECOM

    In a bid to curb spam calls and messages, the government has issued fresh directions to mobile services providers.

    The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has mandated mobile services providers to enhance their mobile apps and web portals to make them more user-friendly for registration of unsolicited commercial communication (UCC) complaints.

    The TRAI has mandated mobile services providers to ensure that options for UCC complaint registration and preference management are easily accessible on their mobile applications and websites.

    “Also, essential details for the registration of complaints should be automatically populated, if users grant permission to access their call logs and other relevant data,” said the telecom regulatory body.

    The TRAI has also implemented amendments to the performance monitoring report formats (PMRs).

    All mobile services providers will now be required to submit PMRs on a monthly basis, as opposed to the previous quarterly reporting cycle, said the Ministry of Communications.

    Earlier this month, the TRAI allocated 160 mobile phone series for making transactional and service voice calls for all entities regulated by RBI, SEBI, IRDAI and PFRDA in the first phase, in order to prevent the duping of citizens from the fraudsters.

    Once the 160 mobile series is implemented, it will help in the easy identification of the calling entity.
