Practice questions
Q1Which one of the following is a vision area of Digital India?
The three vision areas are digital infrastructure as a core utility to every citizen, governance and services on demand, and digital empowerment of citizens. Therefore option B states an actual vision area, whereas the other choices misdescribe the programme's design.
Q2On which date was the Digital India programme launched?
Digital India was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 1 July 2015 to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. The date 16 August 2023 relates to the later Cabinet-approved expansion, so option A alone gives the launch date.
Q3Consider the following statements about Digital India: 1. Broadband Highways is one of its nine pillars. 2. Electronics Manufacturing is one of its nine pillars. 3. Governance and services on demand is one of its three vision areas. 4. The programme requires citizens to submit one common application form for all services. Which statements are correct?
Broadband Highways and Electronics Manufacturing are both among the nine pillars, and governance and services on demand is one of the three vision areas. Statement 4 is false because Digital India has no single application form; citizens use separate portals, apps, service centres and departmental platforms. Hence only 1, 2 and 3 are correct.
Q4Match the Digital India pillar in List I with its focus in List II: 1. Public Internet Access Programme; 2. e-Kranti; 3. Information for All. a. Sectoral electronic services such as e-health and e-education; b. Open data and proactive disclosure; c. Common Service Centres and post offices as multi-service delivery points. Which option gives the correct matching?
Public Internet Access uses Common Service Centres and post offices as multi-service delivery points. e-Kranti covers electronic delivery in fields such as education and health. Information for All promotes open data and proactive disclosure. Thus the complete matching is 1-c, 2-a and 3-b.
Q5Consider the following statements about the 2023 expansion of Digital India: Statement 1: The Union Cabinet approved an outlay of ₹14,903 crore on 16 August 2023. Statement 2: The expansion included 540 additional services on UMANG and 9 more supercomputers under the National Supercomputing Mission. Which option is correct?
The Cabinet approved the Digital India expansion on 16 August 2023 with a total outlay of ₹14,903 crore. The same expansion provided for 540 additional UMANG services and 9 more supercomputers. These are included components, but they do not by themselves explain the total outlay; therefore option D is correct.
