Which of the following is/are the aim/aims of "Digital India" Plan of the Government of India? 1. Formation of India's own Internet companies like China did. 2.

Answer
B
Explanation
Under the Digital India Plan, cities with population of over 1 million and tourist centres would be provided with public wi-fi hotspots, and villages would be connected to the internet.

Formation of Indian internet companies like China (statement 1) and establishing data centre policy for MNCs (statement 2) are not specific aims of the Digital India Plan.
