UnlockIAS · Accepted Answer

Correct — C, Saaransh. 'Saaransh' is the compendium published by the Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY, now MeitY) that gives a bird's-eye view of every Mission Mode Project (MMP) under the National e-Governance Plan — project by project, with its objective, the nodal ministry/department and its status. It is a reference document about NeGP, not an online service or an agency.

Why the other options are wrong — (a) e-Pramaan is the government's national e-authentication service — a framework that lets citizens log in to government online services with a verified identity. It is a service platform, not a compilation of projects.  (b) DigiLocker is the cloud-based document wallet under the Digital India programme, used to issue, store and verify certificates (driving licence, marksheets, etc.). Again a citizen-facing service, not a compendium.  (d) MeitY is the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology — the nodal ministry that publishes such documents. A ministry cannot itself be a 'compendium of projects'.

Concept: The National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), approved by the Union Cabinet on 18 May 2006, delivers e-governance through 'Mission Mode Projects' — clearly defined projects, each with a nodal ministry, defined objectives and timelines. MMPs are grouped as Central, State and Integrated, and ride on a common core infrastructure (State Wide Area Networks, State Data Centres, Common Service Centres and the e-governance service delivery gateway). Saaransh is the official compendium that documents this whole portfolio in one place.
