NDAP is a user-friendly web platform that aggregates and hosts datasets from India’s extensive statistical infrastructure. Its objective is to democratize data delivery by providing easy access to government datasets, implementing robust data-sharing standards, ensuring interoperability across India’s data landscape, and offering user-friendly tools. Consequently, Statement 2 is correct.
Atal Innovation Mission (AIM): The Indian government has established AIM within NITI Aayog to strengthen the nation’s innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem. AIM focuses on creating institutions and programs that stimulate innovation in schools, colleges, and among entrepreneurs. Therefore, Statement 3 is accurate.
Shoonya — Zero-Pollution Mobility campaign: The “Shoonya — Zero-Pollution Mobility” campaign promotes the adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) for urban deliveries and ride-hailing services. This initiative envisions a transformative shift in the transportation sector by urgently transitioning to zero-emission vehicles. Hence, Statement 4 is correct.

d) Cabinet Mission
Answer: (C)
Explanation:
Individual Satyagraha:
During the Second World War, the British government made an announcement on 8th August 1940, known as the ‘August Offer,’ in order to secure the cooperation of Indians. The August Offer proposed that after the war, a representative body of Indians would be established to draft a new constitution. Gandhi was not satisfied with this proposal, and he decided to initiate an Individual Satyagraha in opposition to it. Individual l Satyagraha was limited, symbolic, and non-violent in nature, and the selection of satyagrahis was left to Mahatma Gandhi. Acharya Vinoba Bhave was the first person to engage in Individual Satyagraha and he was sentenced to three months of imprisonment. Jawaharlal Nehru was the second satyagrahi and he was imprisoned for four months. Individual Satyagraha lasted for nearly 15 months.
Hence, option (c) is correct.
