Which of the following pairs of initiatives of the Government of India and their objectives is/are correctly matched? 1. Global Capability Centre (GCC) : Reshaping corporate landscape 2. U-WIN Portal : Ease of doing business across states Select the answer using the code given below:
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct as Global Capability Centres (GCCs) have evolved from back-office units into strategic hubs that reshape the corporate landscape by driving innovation, engineering R&D, and digital transformation. India hosts over 1,500 GCCs, which are integral to transforming business operations and making India a global leader in high-tech industries. Statement 2 is incorrect because the U-WIN portal is not related to the 'Ease of Doing Business across states.' Instead, U-WIN (Winning Over Immunization) is a Government of India initiative designed to digitize the Universal Immunization Programme (UIP), tracking every pregnant woman and child for vaccination across the country. The National Single Window System (NSWS) is the actual digital platform intended to improve the ease of doing business by providing a single dashboard for investor approvals across central departments and states.
