How many government departments had adopted MeghRaj 2.0 by September 2026?
- A.1,230
- B.2,330
- C.3,230
- D.4,330
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 2,330. MeghRaj 2.0, the second generation of the Government of India's national cloud computing initiative, had been adopted by that many government departments by September 2026. The other options are wrong because they do not match the reported adoption figure. MeghRaj itself was launched in 2014 by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology to speed up e-governance and reduce duplicated spending on public computing hardware. The newer version supplies infrastructure, platform and software as a service through a distributed cloud design, so that departments can put applications online quickly instead of buying and running their own servers. It acts as the hosting backbone for well-known public platforms such as DigiLocker, MyGov, the National Scholarship Portal and the Advanced Postal Technology system of the Department of Posts. Alongside this government cloud, India had empanelled 30 cloud service providers by September 2026.
