Prefer TDBC instead of BMCS because of scope for administrative push to ensure good moderation / resolution of questions happen. Else you’ll have experts from different locations, but no accountability.

(This might be redundant since DIKSHA discussions should ideally be directly accessed through DIKSHA portal or mobile app, directly in context, with intelligent ordering based on popularity/proximity/relevance - without navigating through categories)having to navigate through a tree of categories)
