RAS question
The 'e-Swasthya Samvad' platform in Rajasthan conducts video conferencing sessions how often?
Correct answer: (B) Twice a week (Tue & Thu).
Rajasthan's e-Swasthya Samvad platform conducts video conferencing sessions twice a week, every Tuesday and Thursday.
Explanation
e-Swasthya Samvad is a Rajasthan government digital communication platform for the medical education department, intended to improve governance, transparency and coordination. Its fixed operational schedule is twice a week: Medical Education Commissioner Naresh Goyal said the platform is conducted every Tuesday and Thursday through video conferencing. The Tuesday-and-Thursday frequency gives both the weekly frequency and the specific days. Video conferencing matters here because the platform connects officials and wider health-service stakeholders for structured interaction, faster decisions and follow-up action, so the schedule is part of a governance mechanism rather than a casual meeting format.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Daily is wrong because e-Swasthya Samvad has two scheduled sessions per week, not a session every day.
- (C) Monthly is wrong because e-Swasthya Samvad operates as a twice-weekly video-conferencing platform, so the interval is far shorter than one month.
- (D) Weekly on Monday is wrong because e-Swasthya Samvad runs every Tuesday and Thursday, giving two sessions each week rather than one Monday session.
Concept
RAS preparation covers Rajasthan administrative governance through digital service-delivery platforms. Schemes and e-governance initiatives often matter through their operating mechanism, nodal sector and implementation frequency.
