GIGW

A set of guidelines published by the Government of India that establishes standards for the design, development, and management of Indian government websites. GIGW includes requirements for web accessibility, ensuring that government digital services are usable by people with disabilities. The guidelines draw from international standards like WCAG while addressing the specific context of Indian government web services, including support for multiple languages and scripts. GIGW compliance is mandatory for Indian government websites and serves a similar role to Section 508 in the United States or EN 301 549 in Europe.
