What is the share of women in the total utilisation of eSanjeevani?
- A.16.25 per cent
- B.40.15 per cent
- C.47.14 per cent
- D.57.14 per cent
Correct answer
D. 57.14 per cent
Explanation
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.

Practice Questions
eSanjeevani, the telemedicine service that has crossed 50 crore teleconsultations, works under which Union ministry?
- A.Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology
- B.Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
- C.Ministry of Science and Technology
- D.Ministry of Rural Development
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
Explanation
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.
On which date did eSanjeevani cross the mark of 50 crore teleconsultations?
- A.15 August 2026
- B.1 September 2026
- C.15 September 2026
- D.6 October 2026
Show answer
Correct answer: C. 15 September 2026
Explanation
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.
Which organisation developed the eSanjeevani digital health platform?
- A.Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC)
- B.National Informatics Centre (NIC)
- C.Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)
- D.Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC)
Explanation
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.
Under VB-G RAM G, through which plan will works be taken up, and who approves it?
- A.District Development Plan, approved by the Zila Parishad
- B.Viksit Gram Panchayat Plan, approved by the Gram Sabha
- C.Block Action Plan, approved by the Block Samiti
- D.State Rural Plan, approved by the State Legislature
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Viksit Gram Panchayat Plan, approved by the Gram Sabha
Explanation
The correct answer is the Viksit Gram Panchayat Plan, approved by the Gram Sabha. Every work under the new framework is to begin from the bottom up through a decentralised planning exercise, and the plan must be cleared by the Gram Sabha before a work can start. Each work is then followed on the Viksit Bharat National Rural Infrastructure Stack, a digital trail meant to bring Central, State and local money onto the same work and to stop the same work being taken up twice. Options A, C and D place the power of approval at the district, block and State level respectively, which runs against the village-level, bottom-up design the Schedule sets out. The point to remember is the pair: planning at the Gram Panchayat, approval by the Gram Sabha, tracking on the national stack.
The Schedule of Permissible Works has been notified under the VB-G RAM G Act of which year?
- A.2023
- B.2024
- C.2025
- D.2026
Show answer
Correct answer: C. 2025
Explanation
The correct answer is 2025. The Ministry of Rural Development notified the Schedule of Permissible Works under the Viksit Bharat - Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Act of that year, and the Schedule itself was put out on 6 October 2026. Options A and B name years before the Act and are wrong. Option D is the tempting one, because the notification of the Schedule came in that year; but the question asks for the year of the Act, not the year of the notification, and the two are a year apart. Candidates should fix the sequence in mind: the Act belongs to 2025, the Schedule of 375 permissible works was notified in 2026, and the whole effort is placed within the goal of a Viksit Bharat by 2047. Mixing the three years is the commonest mistake here.
