Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: Messaging Platform

Explanation:

  • E-Sampark is a messaging platform.
  • Centre will also launch an 'e-sampark' portal on a crowd-sourcing model, where private citizens could also sign up for the e-mail alerts by leaving their email addresses and telephone numbers and later unsubscribe at any stage.
  • The government says that in the absence of a central repository of all Indian citizens, the ability to reach out to an individual is missing and the e-sampark database can fill that gap and can be used for diverse purposes like feedback and alerts.
