💡 Solution & Explanation

The PM-VANI framework was approved by the Union Cabinet to promote public Wi-Fi hotspots through Public Data Office Aggregators to accelerate the proliferation of broadband internet services across India. Alternative choices describing direct farmer income support refer to schemes like PM-KISAN, whereas organic farming promotion relates to Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana. This initiative aims to bridge the digital divide in rural and urban areas alike. Public Wi-Fi access under this framework operates without any license fee requirements for Public Data Offices.
