Answer:
DigiReady Certification Portal
Notes: The Quality Council of India (QCI) and Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) launched the DigiReady Certification (DRC) portal on February 8, 2024. The portal is an online self-assessment tool that helps small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) determine how well-equipped they are to join the ONDC platform as vendors. The DRC portal is a strategic move to boost digital inclusion in the MSME sector. The MSME sector plays a key role in creating employment opportunities and reducing regional imbalances.
