The government on Wednesday launched the .bharat domain name in devanagari script covering eight languages including Hindi, Konkani and Marathi.
With the launch, individuals of firms who are interested in owning a website with domain name in Hindi language would be able to book the name in Hindi script.
The name would have .bharat in Hindi script as its extension instead of commonly top level domains such as .com, .net or .in. ‘This initiative should not stop at eight languages. I asked the department to make .Bharat domain name available in all the Indian languages very soon,’ Communications and IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said.
