Drupal in Government: Top Indian States That Run Official Websites on Drupal
Drupal is one of the top content management systems (CMS) in government organisations. Several factors make Drupal a favourite for Governments and their machinery. On top is Drupal’s ability to manage higher levels of complexity. The modular and composable nature of Drupal allows the Government machinery to design the websites intended to provide public services in a decentralised manner. Also, the open-source nature of Drupal makes it a transparent endeavour. Government agencies also have a steady backup of development teams required to maintain the efficient running of the open-source software. Moreover, not choosing proprietary software saves the public exchequer from draining money to companies.
Using data from BuiltWith and Wappalyzer, let’s examine the state government websites in India that are running on Drupal.
1. Government of Tamil Nadu
The Government of Tamil Nadu's website has the highest traffic among the sites listed here. It acts as an umbrella platform for accessing many public services through many internal pages. Its content and interface use a mix of Tamil and English.
2. Government of Bihar
The official website of this state situated in North-East India also runs in Drupal. Similar to the Tamil Nadu Government’s website, this one too acts as a go-to site for manifold government services. Apart from that, the site also integrates various social media pages into it.
3. Government of Kerala
The Kerala Government’s website is rich in textual content and is genuinely a multi-language website with localisation (l10n) enabled. The website serves content in Malayalam, the state's mother tongue and English, prioritising universal access. It also serves as a people-facing tech hub that allows access to and execution of various government services. Drupal’s ability to support the local language seamlessly is palpable from the smooth flow of the website. Sources say the state government website is slowly shifting its frontend to React.
4. Government of Odisha
The official website of this south-eastern Indian state, Odisha, also uses Drupal’s leverage to provide various services.
5. Government of Chhattisgarh
Chhattisgarh is a state in central India. The Chhattisgargh Government also employs Drupal to run its Official website. The website also has a big number of internal pages leading to several government services.
6. Government of Tripura
Tripura is a north-eastern state in India. The Government of Tripura employs Drupal technology to run its Official website. The website offers a variety of services and consists of internal pages leading to several government services.
7. Government of Nagaland
The official website of yet another north-eastern Indian state, Nagaland, also uses Drupal’s leverage to provide various services.
8. Government of Meghalaya
Meghalaya is also a state in the north-east of India. The Government of Meghalaya employs Drupal technology to run its Official website. The website offers a variety of services and consists of internal pages leading to several government services.
India has 28 states and eight union territories. The leading websites of 8 state governments are confirmed to run on Drupal. Do you know any other Indian state that leverages Drupal to provide its services? If yes, kindly let us know. We could update this list with accurate data.
