Which platform was migrated to an Indian cloud operated by Yotta Data Services, as reported in February 2026?

  1. A.DigiLocker
  2. B.MyGov
  3. C.Digital India BHASHINI
  4. D.National Scholarship Portal

Correct answer

C. Digital India BHASHINI

Explanation

The correct answer is Digital India BHASHINI. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology reported in February 2026 that the BHASHINI language platform had been moved to an Indian cloud operated by Yotta Data Services, which keeps its language datasets, AI models and citizen interactions within India's own jurisdiction and therefore supports data sovereignty. The deployment is reported to have delivered up to 40 per cent better performance, cost savings of 20 to 30 per cent and uptime of 99.99 per cent. The other three options are wrong as answers to this question even though they are genuine government platforms: DigiLocker, MyGov and the National Scholarship Portal are named in the backgrounder as services hosted on MeghRaj 2.0, not as the platform whose migration to Yotta's cloud was announced. BHASHINI had earlier supported live translation and voice assistance in more than 11 Indian languages at Maha Kumbh 2025.

Who said at ESTIC 2026 that physical AI is as much a systems engineering challenge as an artificial intelligence one?

  1. A.Prof. Umesh V. Waghmare, Secretary, DST
  2. B.Prof. Abhay Karandikar, Member, NITI Aayog
  3. C.Prof. P. Rajalakshmi, IIT Hyderabad
