The re-designed website of the President was launched at Rashtrapati Bhavan today. The re-designed website has some new features, which include direct connectivity from the website to social networking media like Facebook and You-Tube. These two features have been initiated after assumption of charge by the President Pranab Mukherjee. The new website also has a Video Gallery. Citizens can connect to the President directly by clicking the button ‘Write to the President’, which will take them directly to the helpline portal. Launching the website, the Secretary to the President Ms. Omita Paul expressed the hope that it would be a step forward to bring the President closer to the people.
