Q1Consider the following statements regarding DAY-NRLM and the eSaras platform: 1. DAY-NRLM covers over 8.99 lakh registered Self-Help Group members. 2. eSaras supports the Government's vision of creating 6 crore Lakhpati Didis by 2047. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A 1 only

B 2 only

C Both 1 and 2

D Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

Both statements are incorrect, so the answer is option D. Statement 1 misstates the scale: DAY-NRLM covers over 8.99 crore registered Self-Help Group members, not 8.99 lakh. This scale is precisely what makes it one of the world's largest women-led livelihood ecosystems. Statement 2 misstates the target year: eSaras supports the vision of creating 6 crore Lakhpati Didis by 2029, not by 2047. Since statement 1 is wrong, option A is ruled out; since statement 2 is wrong, option B is ruled out; and because neither statement is accurate, option C is also ruled out.

Q2With reference to the eSaras platform, consider the following statements: 1. It is the official e-commerce platform of the Ministry of Rural Development, implemented under the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana - National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM). 2. Products of Self-Help Groups listed on eSaras are sold only through the platform's own portal and are not available on buyer applications integrated with the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC). 3. The platform provides digital onboarding through the LokOS ecosystem and multilingual access through BHASHINI. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A 1 and 2 only

B 2 and 3 only

C 1 and 3 only

D 1, 2 and 3

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct: eSaras is the official e-commerce platform of the Ministry of Rural Development and is implemented under DAY-NRLM; it was built by the Digital India Corporation under MeitY in collaboration with the Ministry of Rural Development. Statement 2 is incorrect: eSaras is not a closed portal. Self-Help Group products are available through 11 or more buyer applications integrated with the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), and over 800 buyers reach these products through ONDC-enabled buyer applications. Statement 3 is correct: the platform offers digital onboarding through the LokOS ecosystem and multilingual access powered by BHASHINI, alongside online catalogues, inventory management, secure digital payments and integrated logistics. Hence only statements 1 and 3 are correct, making option C the answer. Options A and D fail because they include the false claim in statement 2, and option B fails because it drops the correct statement 1 while retaining statement 2.
