MHRD's scheme 'VIDWAN' is aimed at

ACreating a database and national research network ✓ Correct

BMaking available e-resources

CPromoting entrepreneurship among faculty

DAwarding national professorship to a faculty

Correct answer: (A) Creating a database and national research network

Explanation

VIDWAN is designed to build a database of experts and a national research network linking scientists and scholars.

Making e-resources available is the work of digital library initiatives, not the core aim of VIDWAN.

Promoting entrepreneurship among faculty is handled by innovation and incubation schemes, not by this expert directory.

Awarding national professorships is a separate recognition scheme unrelated to VIDWAN.

The directory helps identify peer reviewers, collaborators and subject experts for research and policy.

It strengthens academic networking by making faculty profiles and expertise searchable.
