The Press Information Bureau, PIB, has launched a mobile version of its website to make its content easily accessible to mobile users. The website is pib.gov.in/mobile. The mobile site has been customized in a way to display the latest press releases on the home screen and offers links to other matter available on it. When an alert is issued by PIB regarding an event like press conference to be held soon, this supersedes all content.

The site, however, does not display heavy content like photographs and videos on its homepage so that it can be instantly opened in places where internet connectivity is poor. AIR correspondent reports, the regular website of PIB — www.pib.nic.in — is highly content rich, including content in text, graphic and audio-visual formats. This makes the site a bit heavy for mobile phones and computers with poor internet connectivity.
