• C. e-District
• D. Transport

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Panchayats

• The e-Panchayat MMP, managed by the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, aims to transform the functioning of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) through digitization.

• e-GramSwaraj is a key application under this project. It is a work-based accounting application that helps Panchayats with planning, budgeting, accounting, and asset management. It ensures all financial transactions are recorded, making them transparent and accountable.

• AuditOnline is another application that facilitates the online auditing of Panchayat accounts. It streamlines the audit process, ensures that funds are used appropriately, and helps in maintaining proper financial records, thereby enhancing accountability at the grassroots level.
