Ensuring export promotion of pulses to increase foreign exchange earnings <br\/>\n<strong>Explanation:<\/strong> The Mission for Aatmanirbharta in Pulses (2025\u201331) aims to boost domestic production and achieve self-sufficiency in pulses.<br\/>\n\nIts key objectives include:<br\/>\n\n&bull; Increasing production of Tur, Urad, Masoor<br\/>\n\n&bull; Promoting climate-resilient seeds<br\/>\n\n&bull; Expanding the area under pulses cultivation<br\/>\n\n&bull; Enhancing post-harvest storage and management technologies<br\/>\n\n&bull; Improving soil health, sustainable crop rotations, and productive land use<br\/>\n\n&bull; Supporting assured procurement under PSS (PM-AASHA)<br\/>\n\nExport promotion of pulses is not an objective. India is typically a net importer of pulses; hence the mission focuses on self-sufficiency, not exports.<br\/>\n\nTherefore, Option C is the only statement that does not align with the mission\u2019s objectives.\n\n\n<\/p> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q3.

To ease industry burden by reducing frequent renewal requirements and ensure business continuity <br\/>\n<strong>Explanation:<\/strong> &bull; The Pro Tem Security Certification was initially introduced in October 2024 to prevent business disruption for OEMs of IP Router and Wi-Fi CPE products that suddenly required mandatory security certification.<br\/>\n\n&bull; It allowed OEMs to temporarily continue business by submitting a declaration of conformance, while the equipment underwent testing by a Telecom Security Testing Lab (TSTL).<br\/>\n\n&bull; By extending the validity from 6 months to 2 years, the NCCS aims to reduce the administrative pressure of frequent renewals, making it easier for companies to maintain business continuity.<br\/>\n\n&bull; The extension does not eliminate mandatory testing (eliminating Option 1) and is not specifically intended only for 5G products (ruling out Option 3).<br\/>\n\n&bull; It also does not replace MTCTE (Option 4), which remains the overarching framework.<br\/>\n\nThus, the correct answer is Option B, since the extension directly supports ease of doing business and uninterrupted industry operations.\n\n\n<\/p> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q4.
