Uttarakhand, with a population of almost 2 lakh people with disabilities, is increasingly adopting the use of digital technologies in its government operations using e-governance portals and NIC-enabled portals. This research uses a qualitative case study approach to analyze various state portals using their accessibility statements, structural layout, navigation, color contrast, language capabilities, and keyboard accessibility, among other features in view of WCAG 2.2 and the POUR model. Based on the results, it is evident that there have been accessibility attempts made in some state portals like WCAG AA compliance levels and availability of assistive technology tools on the Public Works Department portal, though several state portals lack any accessibility audit or are only partially compliant regarding language capability and keyboard accessibility. It is proposed that there is a need for more inclusive and user-friendly interfaces and user experience in the State's e-Government portals.
