The Correct Option is A

Approach Solution - 1

This question is about the popular nickname of the National Common Mobility Card. Citizenship Card, Aadhar Card and Shopping Card can all be dismissed together, since the NCMC is neither an identity document nor a card limited to shopping, even though it can be used for retail payments.

The card is actually branded One Nation One Card because it was designed to work as a single interoperable card across metros, buses, suburban trains, toll payments and even ATMs anywhere in the country.

So the correct answer is One Nation One Card.

Approach Solution -2

Before picking an answer here, it helps to separate what the NCMC actually is, an interoperable payment card for transport, from what the wrong options are trying to pass it off as.

  1. One Nation One Card: This name captures the card's real function, letting a single card work across metros, buses, suburban trains and tolls in different cities, instead of commuters needing a fresh card for each system. This is the correct popular name for the NCMC.
  2. Citizenship Card: This option tries to pass off a transit and payment tool as proof of nationality, which the NCMC has never been designed to do.
  3. Aadhar Card: Aadhaar is a distinct, pre-existing identity system tied to biometric verification, and the NCMC was launched as a payment card rather than a rebranding or replacement of that system.
  4. Shopping Card: Retail usability is a genuine feature of the NCMC, since it doubles as a payment instrument at some stores, but reducing its identity to shopping ignores its main and original purpose in public transport.

Once the citizenship and identity mix-ups are cleared and the shopping angle is recognised as only a side feature, the transport-first branding points clearly to one option.

So the correct answer is One Nation One Card.

Passage (extract): The work which Gandhiji had taken up was not only regarding the achievement of political freedom but also the establishment of a new social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and peace, equality and universal brotherhood and maximum freedom for all. A new order cannot be established without radically changing the mind and attitude of men towards property and, at some stage or the other, the 'haves' have to yield place to the 'have-nots'. We have seen, in our time, attempts to achieve a kind of egalitarian society and the picture of it after it was achieved. But this was done, by and large, through the use of physical force. It may even be that, like a gas kept confined within containers under great pressure, or water held back by a big dam, once the barrier breaks, the reaction will one day sweep back with a violence equal in extent and intensity to what was used to establish and maintain the outward egalitarian form. This enforced egalitarianism contains, in its bosom, the seed of its own destruction. If egalitarianism is to endure, it has to be based not on the possession of the maximum material goods by a few or by all but on voluntary, enlightened renunciation of those goods which cannot be shared by others or can be enjoyed only at the expense of others.

Passage (extract): The work which Gandhiji had taken up was not only regarding the achievement of political freedom but also the establishment of a new social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and peace, equality and universal brotherhood and maximum freedom for all. This unfinished part of his experiment was perhaps even more difficult to achieve than the achievement of political freedom. In the political struggle, the fight was against a foreign power and all one could do was either join it or wish it success and give it his/her moral support. In establishing a social order on this pattern, there was a strong possibility of a conflict arising between diverse groups and classes of our own people.

Passage (extract): In the political struggle, the fight was against a foreign power and all one could do was either join it or wish it success and give it his/her moral support. Experience shows that man values his possessions even more than his life because in the former he sees the means for perpetuation and survival of his descendants even after his body is reduced to ashes. We have seen, in our time, attempts to achieve a kind of egalitarian society and the picture of it after it was achieved. But this was done, by and large, through the use of physical force. This enforced egalitarianism contains, in its bosom, the seed of its own destruction. The root cause of class conflict is possessiveness or the acquisitive instinct.
