eSanjeevani Crosses 50 Crore Teleconsultations in India

The correct answer is the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. eSanjeevani is the national telemedicine service of India and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare guides its working and its growth as the needs of the health system change. The ministry announced that the platform had gone past 50 crore teleconsultations, the mark being reached on 15 September 2026 with a running total of 50,00,92,730 sittings in all 36 States and Union Territories. Option A is wrong because the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology is not named as the ministry running the service, although the software itself was built by C-DAC. Option C is wrong because the Ministry of Science and Technology has no role described here. Option D is wrong because the Ministry of Rural Development looks after rural employment and rural infrastructure, not telemedicine. So the answer is the health ministry.

The correct answer is 15 September 2026. On that day the running count of teleconsultations on eSanjeevani stood at 50,00,92,730, which took the platform past the figure of 50 crore, or 500 million, across all 36 States and Union Territories. Options A and B name earlier dates in 2026 on which no such mark was recorded, so both are wrong. Option D, 6 October 2026, is the day the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare set out the achievement in its statement, which is not the same as the day the mark itself was crossed; a careless reader picks the day of the announcement instead of the day of the milestone. Candidates should keep the two dates apart, because a paper setter may ask for either one. Hence 15 September 2026 is the right choice.

The correct answer is the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC). eSanjeevani is described as a made-in-India digital health solution developed by C-DAC, and its Mohali centre has given end-to-end technological development and engineering support from the very beginning. The platform grew from a hub-and-spoke telemedicine model into a national digital health platform of population scale. Option B is wrong because the National Informatics Centre is not named as the developer of this platform. Option C is wrong because the Indian Space Research Organisation works on space missions and satellites, not on a telemedicine service of this kind. Option D is wrong because the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research runs a chain of research laboratories and has no role described here. Remembering the pair, C-DAC and C-DAC Mohali, is enough for most questions on this story.

The correct answer is 57.14 per cent. Women make up that share of all use of eSanjeevani, which shows how far telemedicine has gone in reaching people for whom a journey to a health facility means time, money and difficulty. Option B, 40.15 per cent, is the share of consultations taken by citizens of 46 years and above, so it belongs to an age group and not to women. Option A, 16.25 per cent, is the share of senior citizens of 60 years and above, who form part of that same older group. Option C is close to the right figure in look but is not the one reported, and it is the sort of near miss a paper setter puts in to catch a half-remembered number. Candidates should hold the three shares together, because questions often swap one for another.
