B. MoSPI has launched e-Sankhyiki Portal in June.
C. United Nations Statistics Commission (UNSC), established.
D. Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) came into existence as an independent ministry.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → C, A, D, B
Note: The given answer is as per NTA. However, there seems to be a mistake in the question as explained below:
- The four events are to be placed in chronological order. The United Nations Statistical Commission was established in 1947 (C), the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation came into being as an independent ministry on 15 October 1999 (D), the National Statistical Commission was set up by the resolution of 2005 (A), and the e-Sankhyiki Portal was launched in June 2024 (B).
- The correct sequence is therefore C, D, A, B, which is not offered among the four options; the key accepts C, A, D, B, in which the middle two events are interchanged.
Of the choices given, option (2) is the only one that begins with the earliest event (C) and ends with the latest (B), which is why it has been taken as the answer.
