| Government Directory of India — The India Look: Discover ministries, departments, services, schemes, districts and trusted public information. |
Government Directory of India — Ministries, Departments, States, UTs, Districts, Services & Official Portals
Effective Date: 27 August 2026
Last Updated: 27 August 2026
Review Schedule: Quarterly, with additional reviews whenever a major government portal, department, service, scheme, URL, or official process changes.
Introduction
Finding the correct government website in India should not require searching through dozens of pages, advertisements, outdated directories, or unofficial websites.
The Government Directory — The India Look is designed as a practical starting point for discovering official Indian government institutions, ministries, departments, public authorities, state and Union Territory resources, district-level information, citizen services, welfare schemes, identity services, grievance systems, judiciary resources, and other important public-service portals.
India's public digital ecosystem is distributed across Union Government ministries and departments, State and Union Territory governments, districts, statutory authorities, commissions, courts, local bodies, and specialised service portals. The National Portal of India provides a central directory covering areas such as ministries and departments, States and UTs, judiciary, legislature, Indian missions abroad, districts, and contact information.
This page therefore follows an important principle:
Use The India Look to discover and understand a government resource, but use the linked official government website for the final application, payment, document submission, eligibility decision, status check, or legally significant information.
Government information can change. Department names, URLs, eligibility requirements, fees, forms, office contacts, application procedures, and service availability may be revised. For that reason, readers should always verify important details on the official source before taking action.
The purpose of this directory is not to replace government portals. It is to make India's large public-service ecosystem easier to understand and navigate.
What Is a Government Directory?
A government directory is an organised collection of information that helps people locate government ministries, departments, authorities, institutions, public services, official websites, offices, contacts, schemes, and other public resources.
In India, government information exists at several administrative levels:
Union Government
State Governments
Union Territory administrations
District administrations
Local government bodies
Statutory and constitutional authorities
Courts and judicial institutions
Commissions and regulatory bodies
Public-sector organisations
Specialised citizen-service portals
The official National Portal of India maintains both web and contact directory resources covering ministries and departments, States and UTs, district information, judiciary, legislature, apex bodies and Indian missions abroad.
This makes a directory particularly useful when a person knows what they need, but does not yet know which government organisation provides it.
Example
A citizen may know that they want to:
apply for a passport;
update Aadhaar information;
find a government scheme;
search for a government service;
check voter information;
submit a public grievance;
find a district office;
access digital documents;
locate a ministry;
find a state government department.
The challenge is often not understanding the need. The challenge is identifying the correct official destination.
That is the problem this directory is intended to solve.
Government Directory India: Quick Navigation
Use the following structure to find the resource closest to your requirement.
| Requirement | Best starting point |
|---|---|
| Find a Union ministry or department | National Portal of India directory |
| Find a State or UT government resource | National Portal State/UT directory |
| Find district-level information | National Portal district directory |
| Find a government service | National Government Services Portal |
| Find welfare schemes | myScheme |
| Find Aadhaar services | UIDAI |
| Find voter services | Election Commission citizen portal |

The National Government Services Portal is designed as a single-window discovery platform for services offered by different government entities and allows searches by category and location, including State/District and PIN Code.
1. Union Government Ministries and Departments
The Union Government manages national-level responsibilities through ministries, departments, attached offices, statutory authorities and other institutions.
Examples of areas commonly handled at the Union level include:
Finance
Home Affairs
External Affairs
Education
Health and Family Welfare
Agriculture and Farmers Welfare
Rural Development
Defence
Law and Justice
Labour and Employment
Consumer Affairs
Communications
Electronics and Information Technology
Environment and related areas
Road Transport and Highways
Railways
Housing and Urban Affairs
Women and Child Development
Social Justice and Empowerment
Skill Development and Entrepreneurship
Tourism
Culture
Science and Technology
The official National Portal of India provides a dedicated directory for ministries and departments and identifies the respective government entities responsible for information published through the portal.
Why the ministry directory matters
A ministry or department page can help users determine:
which organisation handles a subject;
where official notifications may be published;
which department operates a particular service;
where policy information originates;
where official contact information can be verified;
which government portal should be used for an application.
For important decisions, readers should not rely solely on a third-party summary. The relevant ministry or department should remain the final authority.
2. States and Union Territories
India's public administration is not limited to the Union Government.
State and Union Territory administrations operate many services that directly affect daily life, including:
certificates;
land and revenue services;
local registrations;
electricity and water services;
municipal services;
state scholarships;
state welfare schemes;
employment services;
transport services;
police-related services;
local taxation;
education services;
health services;
agricultural services;
housing and local development services.
The National Portal's directory provides State and UT navigation and can help users locate government departments, directorates, district offices, boards, undertakings, commissions, institutions and other public bodies.
State-level information should be checked locally
A service available in one State may have:
a different name in another State;
different eligibility rules;
a different application portal;
different fees;
different supporting documents;
different processing times;
different district-level procedures.
Therefore, never assume that a State Government procedure automatically applies throughout India.
3. District Government Directory
District administration is particularly important because many public services are delivered closer to citizens at the district, subdivision, block, municipal or local level.
A district directory can help users locate:
district administration;
district offices;
district-level departments;
local authorities;
public notices;
district contacts;
welfare implementation offices;
revenue offices;
education offices;
health administration;
local development authorities;
disaster-management information;
public grievance channels.
The National Portal's contact directory specifically includes district information and district-level government contacts.
Why district information is useful
A citizen may know the State and district but not the exact department responsible for a service.
For example:
Need: land-related information
Possible level: State → district → revenue administration → local office.
Need: local certificate
Possible level: State → district/subdivision/local authority.
Need: district welfare implementation
Possible level: concerned State department → district office.
The exact authority varies according to the service.
4. Government Services Directory
A directory of government organisations is useful, but many people actually need something more direct:
“Where can I get this service?”
For that purpose, the National Government Services Portal is particularly useful.
The portal categorises government services across areas such as:
Education and Learning
Health and Wellness
Electricity, Water and Local Services
Money and Taxes
Jobs
Justice, Law and Grievances
Travel and Tourism
Business and Self-employed
Births, Deaths, Marriages and Child Care
Pension and Benefits
Transport and Infrastructure
Citizenship, Visas and Passports
Agriculture, Rural and Environment
Science, IT and Communications
Youth, Sports and Culture.
National Government Services Portal
How to find a government service
Step 1: Identify what you need.
For example:
“I need to apply for a government certificate.”
Step 2: Search the relevant service category.
Step 3: Add a location if required.
The portal supports location-based discovery using State/District and PIN Code fields.
Step 4: Read the service description carefully.
Step 5: Check the service provider.
Step 6: Follow the official application instructions.
Step 7: Save the acknowledgement, application number or reference number when provided.
5. Government Schemes Directory
Government schemes are another major reason people search for government information.
However, scheme discovery can be difficult because eligibility may depend on factors such as:
age;
income;
occupation;
residence;
State or UT;
rural or urban location;
employment status;
social category;
disability status;
family circumstances;
education status;
agricultural status;
business activity;
other scheme-specific requirements.
The official myScheme platform is designed as a national search and discovery platform for government schemes. It provides scheme discovery based on eligibility-related information and covers Central Government as well as State/UT schemes.
myScheme — Government Schemes Discovery Platform
How to search for a scheme
Identify your requirement.
Visit the official scheme-discovery platform.
Enter the requested profile information.
Review matching schemes.
Open the detailed scheme information.
Read eligibility requirements.
Check required documents.
Confirm the application process.
Follow the official application destination.
Verify the final status through the concerned authority.
The current myScheme platform says it provides access to thousands of Central and State/UT schemes and supports searches by scheme name, keywords, State/UT, Central Government, benefit categories and personalised recommendations.
Important scheme-directory rule
Finding a scheme does not automatically mean that a person qualifies for it.
Eligibility must be checked against the current official scheme rules.
6. Aadhaar and Identity Services
Aadhaar-related information should always be verified through the official Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) website.
UIDAI is a statutory authority established under the Aadhaar Act, 2016, under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.
UIDAI — Official Aadhaar Services
Official Aadhaar resources include services such as:
downloading Aadhaar;
updating Aadhaar;
checking Aadhaar status;
locating Aadhaar centres;
ordering a PVC card;
generating a Virtual ID;
retrieving a lost UID;
checking authentication-related information;
grievance and support services.
Safety reminder
Never publish your Aadhaar number, OTP, biometric information, password or other confidential identity information in a public comment or website form unless you are certain that the destination is legitimate and appropriate.
The India Look should never request sensitive authentication information from readers.
7. Voter Services Directory
For electoral information, citizens should use official Election Commission resources.
The Election Commission's citizen services portal provides functions including:
searching a name in the voter list;
viewing polling information;
tracking applications;
downloading e-EPIC;
registering complaints or suggestions;
contacting the Booth Level Officer through available facilities;
tracking appeals;
accessing election-related information.
Election Commission Citizen Services Portal
For election-related matters, users should rely on the Election Commission and relevant election authorities rather than unofficial social-media posts or third-party claims.
8. Passport and Citizenship-Related Services
Passport services are administered through the official Passport Seva ecosystem under the Ministry of External Affairs.
The official Passport Seva portal provides access to functions such as:
passport applications;
appointment availability;
application-related information;
passport service guidance;
official announcements.
Passport Seva — Government of India
Passport fees, procedures and appointment rules can change. The official portal currently advises applicants to check revised fees before making payment, illustrating why current official information should be checked before submitting an application.
9. DigiLocker and Digital Government Documents
DigiLocker provides a digital platform for accessing, sharing and verifying authentic digital documents.
It is a flagship initiative of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology under the Digital India programme and is maintained by the National e-Governance Division.
DigiLocker — Official Digital Documents Platform
Documents available through DigiLocker can span categories including:
identity;
education;
health;
transport;
government and public sector;
skills and vocational training;
industry;
sports and culture.
The platform also allows users to explore documents by State and issuer.
Why DigiLocker matters in a government directory
A modern government directory should not only point users to departments. It should help them understand the ecosystem connecting:
Identity → Application → Document → Verification → Service → Status
DigiLocker can form an important part of that digital journey where an issuing authority supports digital documents.
10. UMANG — Multiple Government Services in One Place
UMANG is designed as a unified gateway for government schemes and services across different channels.
The official UMANG platform describes access to Central Government services, State Government services, schemes, utility services and selected digital documents.
UMANG — Government Services Platform
UMANG can be useful when a user knows the service but does not want to navigate multiple departmental websites.
However, availability of a particular service can change. Always follow the current service information displayed on the official platform.
11. Public Grievance Directory
Sometimes the problem is not applying for a service but resolving a problem with service delivery.
The Centralized Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS) provides an online mechanism for citizens to lodge grievances relating to public-service delivery.
The official CPGRAMS portal states that it connects citizens with Ministries/Departments of the Government of India and States and allows users to track grievance status through a registration ID.
CPGRAMS — Public Grievance Portal
Before submitting a grievance
Prepare:
the relevant department name;
application or service reference number;
dates;
copies of relevant documents, where appropriate;
a short factual description;
the action already taken;
the outcome you are seeking.
Avoid emotional, abusive or irrelevant language. A concise factual grievance is easier for the concerned authority to understand.
12. Judiciary and Legal Resources
Legal information requires particular care.
The Government Directory ecosystem includes judiciary-related resources, including references to the Supreme Court, High Courts and district courts through the National Portal's directory structure.
The Department of Justice also describes the eCourts project as a major digital initiative intended to improve access to digital court services, case management and related judicial processes.
When using legal information
Readers should distinguish between:
general legal information;
official legislation;
government notifications;
court orders;
case-specific legal advice.
A general directory cannot replace advice from a qualified legal professional where a person's rights, property, employment, criminal liability, litigation or other legal interests are involved.
13. Agriculture and Farmer Services
Agriculture-related government services can involve both Union and State-level authorities.
Potential areas include:
agricultural schemes;
farmer support;
crop-related information;
subsidies;
rural development;
agricultural credit;
insurance-related government programmes;
soil and agricultural resources;
market information;
State agriculture department services.
For example, the official PM-KISAN portal provides information on the PM-KISAN scheme, including eligibility-related information, operational guidelines, eKYC requirements and beneficiary-status facilities.
PM-KISAN — Official Government Portal
Because agriculture is substantially implemented through State and local systems as well as Central programmes, users should verify both the scheme rules and their State-specific procedures.
14. Education, Scholarships and Student Services
Government education resources can be divided into several areas:
School education
admissions;
scholarships;
examinations;
educational certificates;
student welfare;
school information.
Higher education
universities;
admissions;
scholarships;
fellowships;
examinations;
academic documentation.
Skills and employment
vocational education;
apprenticeships;
skill development;
employment services;
career programmes.
For scholarships and benefits, users should verify eligibility, deadlines, institution requirements and application instructions through the relevant official portal.
A directory should guide users toward the authoritative source rather than reproducing time-sensitive deadlines indefinitely.
15. Business and Self-Employment Government Resources
Entrepreneurs and self-employed individuals may need government resources related to:
business registration;
taxation;
labour compliance;
licensing;
permits;
MSME-related services;
startup programmes;
government procurement;
intellectual property;
employment compliance;
export and import processes;
industry-specific approvals.
The National Government Services Portal includes Business and Self-employed as a service category, helping users locate government services across relevant entities.
For business matters, always distinguish between:
information → registration → compliance → payment → approval → renewal.
Each stage may involve a different government authority.
16. Government Contact Directory
Sometimes a person does not need an online service. They simply need to know:
“Who should I contact?”
The official National Portal contact directory is designed for this purpose and includes ministries/departments, State and UT contacts, district information, judiciary and Indian missions abroad.
A good contact directory should help users identify:
organisation;
department;
office;
designation;
telephone information;
email information where officially published;
postal information;
jurisdiction;
official website.
Contact-information safety
Never assume that a telephone number found on a random website is official.
Before sharing documents or making payments, verify contact information through the relevant government website.
17. How to Verify an Official Government Website
One of the most important skills in using an online government directory is source verification.
Use this five-step check
1. Identify the organisation
Ask:
Which government department or authority should provide this service?
2. Check the official domain
Many Indian government websites use government-controlled domains, but a domain ending alone should not be treated as the only verification method.
3. Cross-check through a recognised government directory
The National Portal can help establish whether a government organisation or service is part of the public digital ecosystem.
4. Check the page's own information
Look for:
organisation name;
department/ministry;
official contact information;
privacy/security information;
terms or policies;
updated information.
5. Follow the official application destination
Before entering personal information or making payment, verify that you are on the intended official platform.
18. Government Directory vs Government Portal
These terms are related but not identical.
| Feature | Government Directory | Government Portal |
|---|---|---|
| Main purpose | Discovery | Service delivery |
| Helps identify departments | Yes | Sometimes |
| Lists organisations | Yes | Sometimes |
| Provides application facility | Usually no | Often |
| Provides service status | Usually no | Often |
| Provides official notices | Sometimes | Often |
| Acts as final authority | No, unless itself official | Depends on portal |
| Best use | Find the right destination | Complete the relevant task |
The India Look's directory should therefore function as a navigation and information layer, while official government websites remain the authoritative destination for actual transactions.
19. How to Use This Government Directory Safely
Follow this simple workflow:
Step 1 — Define your task
Write your requirement in one sentence.
Example:
“I want to check whether I qualify for a government welfare scheme.”
Step 2 — Identify the category
Choose:
Government Service
Government Scheme
Identity
Education
Employment
Agriculture
Business
Tax
Legal
Passport
Voter
Grievance
Local Government
District Administration
Step 3 — Find the relevant authority
Determine whether the service belongs to:
Union Government;
State Government;
UT administration;
district administration;
local body;
statutory authority;
specialised institution.
Step 4 — Open the official source
Use the official government portal for current information.
Step 5 — Check eligibility and documents
Never assume that a service is available merely because it appears in a search result.
Step 6 — Complete the process
Follow the official instructions.
Step 7 — Save your reference number
Keep:
application number;
acknowledgement;
receipt;
transaction ID;
grievance number;
appointment reference.
Step 8 — Track the application
Use the official tracking facility wherever available.
20. Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake 1: Using an unofficial website as the final authority
Third-party websites can help explain a process, but official sources should be used to verify current rules.
Mistake 2: Searching only by scheme name
A scheme may have:
changed its name;
merged with another programme;
changed eligibility;
changed its application process;
moved to a different portal.
Search by both the scheme and the responsible department where appropriate.
Mistake 3: Ignoring State-specific rules
A Central scheme may have State-level implementation requirements.
Mistake 4: Sharing OTPs
Government websites should not be treated as permission to disclose confidential authentication details to other people.
Mistake 5: Paying an unofficial intermediary without verification
Before paying for a government service, check the official fee and official payment route.
Mistake 6: Trusting old screenshots
Screenshots can become outdated quickly.
Mistake 7: Ignoring application acknowledgements
Always retain proof of submission where available.
Mistake 8: Confusing information with approval
A directory can tell you where to apply. It cannot guarantee that an application will be accepted.
21. A Better Government Information Journey
A useful way to understand India's digital public-service ecosystem is:
Discover → Verify → Understand → Apply → Acknowledge → Track → Resolve
Discover
Find the relevant organisation or service.
Verify
Confirm that the source is official.
Understand
Read eligibility, documents, fees and process requirements.
Apply
Use the official application channel.
Acknowledge
Save the receipt or reference number.
Track
Use the official status facility.
Resolve
Use the appropriate grievance mechanism if necessary.
This approach reduces the risk of relying on outdated or misleading information.

Government fees, deadlines, eligibility conditions, forms, service availability, contact details and procedures can change. A third-party directory may help with navigation, but the responsible government authority is the appropriate source for the latest official requirements.
15. What should I do if an official-looking website asks for sensitive information?
Stop and verify the website before proceeding. Do not disclose OTPs, passwords, banking credentials, biometric information or other confidential information to an unverified person or website. When in doubt, navigate independently to the relevant official government portal rather than following an unsolicited link.
References and Authoritative Resources
The following official resources are recommended for verification and further research:
These sources are preferred because they are operated or maintained by the relevant government organisations or official government digital platforms. The National Portal itself states that its content is owned and managed by the respective Ministries and Departments.
Editorial Standards
The India Look follows a reader-first approach to government information.
Accuracy
Government information is checked against authoritative sources wherever practical.
Transparency
The India Look does not present itself as a government authority. Links to official portals are provided so readers can verify important information directly.
Freshness
Government information can change. This page is scheduled for periodic review, with additional updates when major changes are identified.
Evidence-Based Publishing
Important claims should be supported by authoritative government sources rather than anonymous social-media posts, copied articles or unsupported claims.
Clear Limitations
A directory is a navigation and educational resource. It does not determine eligibility, approve applications, issue documents, process payments or make decisions on behalf of government authorities.
Corrections
If an official URL, department name, service description or other factual detail becomes outdated, readers are encouraged to report the issue so it can be reviewed against an authoritative source.
Disclaimer
General Government Information Disclaimer:
The India Look is an independent informational website and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or operated by the Government of India, any State Government, Union Territory administration, ministry, department, authority, commission or other government organisation unless expressly stated otherwise.
Government links and references are provided to help readers locate authoritative information. Government websites, services, fees, eligibility rules, application procedures, deadlines, contact details and URLs may change without notice. Readers should verify important information on the relevant official government website before applying, making a payment, submitting documents or relying on information for legal, financial, employment, education, identity or other important decisions.
The India Look does not guarantee approval, eligibility, processing time, benefit entitlement, appointment availability or outcome of any government service or scheme.
Never share passwords, OTPs, PINs, biometric information or other confidential credentials with The India Look or with unverified third parties.
Conclusion
India's government information ecosystem is extensive because public administration operates across many levels and institutions.
A useful government directory should therefore do more than provide a long list of links. It should help people understand which organisation handles a subject, where to find the service, how to verify the official source, and what to do next.
The India Look Government Directory is designed around that principle.
Use this page to discover the right government resource. Then move to the responsible official portal for the latest eligibility rules, documents, fees, application process, status information and legally authoritative instructions.
For the safest experience, remember:
Discover → Verify → Understand → Apply → Save the reference → Track → Resolve.
That simple workflow can make India's large public-service ecosystem considerably easier to navigate.
