Question

Which two major infrastructures support the centralized systems of the SDC?

• A. State Wide Area Network (SWAN) and Common Service Centres (CSC)
• B. National Highway Network (NHN) and Postal Services
• C. Public Distribution System (PDS) and Aadhaar Enrolment Centres
• D. Emergency Response System (ERS) and Disaster Management Units

Answer 1

Answer:

A. State Wide Area Network (SWAN) and Common Service Centres (CSC)

The two major infrastructures supporting the centralized systems of the State Data Centre (SDC) are:

1. State Wide Area Network (SWAN): This acts as the digital highway, providing the necessary high-speed connectivity to transmit data and services from the SDC to various government departments and offices across the entire state.

2. Common Service Centres (CSC): These serve as the access points (front-end delivery outlets) that take the e-governance services, applications, and data hosted in the SDC directly to the citizens, particularly in rural areas.

In short, the SDC hosts, SWAN connects, and CSCs deliver the e-governance services.
