With reference to the Integrated Dashboard for Performance Monitoring of Infrastructure launched by MoSPI on April 16, 2026, consider the following statements: 1. The dashboard succeeds and replaces the Online Computerized Monitoring System (OCMS). 2. The dashboard is updated on a quarterly basis. 3. The PAIMANA framework was originally notified by MoSPI on September 25, 2025. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Explanation

All three statements are correct because the PIB release links the dashboard directly to PAIMANA and to the older monitoring system. MoSPI operationalised PAIMANA, expanded as Project Assessment, Infrastructure Monitoring and Analytics for Nation-building, on 25 September 2025 for mandated monitoring of Central Sector Infrastructure Projects, replacing the erstwhile OCMS-2006, or Online Computerized Monitoring System. The 16 April 2026 launch then added the Performance Monitoring Dashboard to track infrastructure performance across key sub-sectors. Dashboards for performance monitoring will be updated on a quarterly basis, with 16 July 2026 as the next update date. That makes statements 1, 2 and 3 all valid.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Option A accepts the OCMS replacement point but wrongly leaves out the quarterly update cycle and the 25 September 2025 PAIMANA notification, both stated in the PIB release.
• (B) Option B is incomplete because it omits statement 3, although MoSPI operationalised PAIMANA on 25 September 2025.
• (C) Option C is incomplete because it omits statement 1, even though PAIMANA replaced the erstwhile OCMS-2006.

Concept

This tests governance through digital monitoring frameworks, especially how ministries use dashboards and indicators for evidence-based infrastructure oversight. Such items recur in RAS because current administrative reforms often appear as statement-combination questions.
