Currently, most of your online searches are directed towards Google which is universally known to fetch information on anything and everything you’d want to know.

But, what if you were looking for stuff a bit closer to home and something much intricate and detailed?

The Indian government has launched a search portal for all the ’sarkari’ information you’d want to look for online. We checked and found that the website is currently live at goisearch.nic.in.
