What is the aim of the PM WANI Scheme?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Proliferation of public Wi-Fi networks.

Proliferation of Public Wi-Fi Networks refers to the rapid expansion and availability of internet access through public Wi-Fi hotspots across cities, towns, and rural areas. It aims to provide affordable and easy internet connectivity to the masses, especially those who may not have personal broadband access. This growth is being driven by initiatives like the PM-WANI Scheme, which allows setting up Public Data Offices (PDOs) without a license or fee. The proliferation of public Wi-Fi supports digital inclusion, boosts small businesses, empowers citizens with online services, and strengthens Digital India by bridging the connectivity gap across diverse regions of the country.
