Correct answer: (B) E-Vidwan

Explanation

E-Vidwan provides a database of profiles of scientists, researchers and faculty at leading institutions.

It functions as an expert directory supporting collaboration and peer review.

SWAYAM Prabha is a set of educational broadcast channels, not a profile database.

The National Academic Depository stores academic awards and certificates, not researcher profiles.

E-Shodhsindhu is a consortium for e-journal and database access.

Vidwan is maintained by INFLIBNET under the Ministry of Education.
