Answer 1

Answer:

D. Transport

The Transport Mission Mode Project (MMP) focuses on digitizing services related to vehicle registration and driving licenses.

This state-level initiative, though centrally guided by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, is implemented by the transport departments of each state and union territory. Its core purpose is to bring efficiency, transparency, and convenience to citizens.

Key Services and Benefits

• Vehicle Registration: The project utilizes a centralized software called VAHAN to handle all aspects of vehicle registration, including new vehicle registration, ownership transfers, and the issuance of duplicate certificates. This creates a unified national database, making it easier for law enforcement to track vehicles across state borders.

• Driving Licenses: The SARATHI application is used to manage all driving license-related services, from learner's license tests and permanent license issuance to renewals and address changes. This also contributes to a national register of drivers.

• Online Services: The project has introduced over 100 online services for citizens, significantly reducing the need to visit a Regional Transport Office (RTO). Services like online fee payment, appointment booking, and checking application status can be done from home. 📱

• Transparency and Security: By using a digital platform, the projects have reduced manual intervention, minimized opportunities for corruption, and made the processes more secure and transparent. The m-Parivahan mobile app, for instance, allows citizens to carry virtual copies of their driving license and vehicle registration certificate, which are legally valid.
