Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Digital Communications Commission (DCC), formerly known as the Telecom Commission, is the apex decision-making body responsible for the implementation of the Government of India's policy in all matters concerning telecommunications. Established in 1989, its primary functions include formulating the budget for the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and ensuring the execution of government policies to promote rapid development in the sector. While the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) serves as the independent regulator for tariffs and service quality, the DCC remains the executive arm for policy implementation. The commission consists of a Chairman (Secretary to the Government of India in the Department of Telecommunications) and full-time members for finance, production, services, and technology. This structure ensures a coordinated approach to telecommunications governance, aligning with India's status as the world's second-largest telecom network .
