Answer 1

Answer:

B. Open API Policy

• The Policy: The "Policy on Open APIs for Government of India" encourages government departments to create and publish their data and services using Open APIs.

• The Problem: Without a central platform, it was hard to find and use these APIs. Systems couldn't easily talk to each other.

• The Solution: API Setu was created to be the central marketplace and directory for these APIs, making the policy a reality.

• The Goal: It helps achieve the policy's goal of making government services more accessible and promoting innovation by allowing seamless sharing of data and services.
