- True
- False
Answer: True
NDMA leverages geospatial technologies: satellite imagery for hazard mapping, GIS for vulnerability assessment, and GPS for field data collection. Integrated with state SDMA systems for coordinated response. Critical for evidence-based disaster risk reduction and infrastructure planning questions.
The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016 mandates accessibility standards for digital content and services.
- True
- False
Answer: True
RPwD Act 2016 (Section 42) requires government and private entities to ensure websites, apps, and digital services are accessible per prescribed standards. Implemented via GIGW 3.0, WCAG compliance, and audits. Critical for legal framework of digital inclusion and disability rights questions.
6G research aims to achieve terahertz frequency bands and sub-millisecond latency for holographic communications.
- True
- False
Answer: True
6G (expected ~2030) targets: terahertz spectrum (0.1-10 THz) for ultra-high bandwidth, AI-native networks, integrated sensing-communication, and holographic/immersive experiences. India's 6G vision document (2023) outlines research priorities. Critical for understanding next-generation telecom evolution questions.
The Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act 2023 came into full force immediately after presidential assent.
- True
- False
Answer: False
DPDP Act 2023 received assent in August 2023 but provisions are being notified in phases. Rules for Data Protection Board, compliance requirements, and transitional arrangements are being finalized. Organizations must prepare for consent management, data principal rights, and breach reporting. Critical for legal compliance questions.
India's UPI system has inspired similar real-time payment frameworks in countries like Singapore, UAE, and France.
- True
- False
Answer: True
UPI's success (11+ billion monthly transactions) has led to international adoption: Singapore's PayNow-UPI linkage, UAE's integration, and discussions with France, UK, and others. NPCI International promotes UPI-like systems globally. Represents India's leadership in digital public infrastructure and fintech innovation.
The Indian Tsunami Early Warning Centre (ITEWC) uses seismic sensors and buoy networks for real-time tsunami detection.
- True
- False
Answer: True
ITEWC (under INCOIS) operates seismic stations, bottom pressure recorders (tsunameters), and tide gauges to detect earthquakes and tsunami waves in Indian Ocean. Issues alerts within minutes to coastal authorities. Integrated with global warning systems. Critical for disaster preparedness and ocean technology questions.
The Accessible India Campaign (Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan) mandates digital accessibility standards for government websites.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan implements Guidelines for Indian Government Websites (GIGW) 3.0, aligned with WCAG 2.1, ensuring websites/apps are perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for persons with disabilities. Critical for inclusive digital governance and compliance with Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016.
