Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Concept: Government of India ministries and regulators periodically launch dedicated web portals to track or support specific education-policy reforms. Identifying which agency launched a given portal means matching the portal's stated scope to that agency's own statutory mandate - university-level higher education, technical/engineering education, and medical education fall under different regulators.

Application: UTSAH ("Undertaking Transformative Strategies and Actions in Higher Education") is a portal developed and launched by the University Grants Commission (UGC) to track and support the progress of National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 reforms - learner-centric education, digital learning, industry-institute collaboration, research, internationalisation, and the Indian Knowledge System - across higher-education institutions. UGC launched it alongside its own redesigned website and a separate "Professor of Practice" portal announced the same day, each serving a distinct function. Since UTSAH's own scope is NEP-2020 progress tracking for higher-education institutions generally, the launching agency is UGC.

  • AICTE is the statutory regulator specifically for technical and engineering education institutions and maintains its own distinct approval and e-governance portals for that sector.

  • MCI (now the National Medical Commission) is the statutory regulator specifically for medical education and practice in India, with its own separate registration and accreditation portals for that sector.

  • Government digital-initiative portals of this kind are typically owned and administered by one designated nodal regulator, not jointly by several agencies at once.

  • UTSAH does have a specific launching agency among the options offered in this question, so ruling out every named option does not hold here.

Cross-check: UGC's own official reporting and contemporaneous government/press coverage of the new UGC website launch both credit UGC - not AICTE or MCI - with developing UTSAH, independently of, and consistent with, the exam's own official answer key.

Result: The correct answer is UGC.
