Coming to Indian Army capability to drive infantary and tanks plays a major role on land battle. Its also main point of concern for losing many army soliders by battle tanks. Inorder to counter that DRDO - Defence research development organisation and other defense organisations came up with anti-tank missiles but still we need the combined forces effort (i.e airforce need to drop anti tank missile from Apache or Cheethak helicopters or from War planes). This is a very expensive mode of destroying a tank and high chances of activating an Air defence in enemy terrain.
So, then comes man-portable anti-tank guided missile (MPATGM) which comes handy and optimal way to target the tanks. We have helina missiles(7~10km range), Nag missiles (~4km range), Amogha missiles(~2.4km range).
All the above 3 missiles are anti tank guided missiles but not man portable, so DRDO came up with man portable pods to launch them - deriving them from Nag and amogha missiles (for short range strike) making it vost effective.
That was a good question. Happy to answer that, hope that helps.
Keep asking and sharing.

Introduction
The MPATGM (Man-Portable Anti-Tank Guided Missile) is a missile system used for anti-tank warfare. It is designed to be carried and operated by an individual soldier. The statement regarding the MPATGM missile being an anti-tank guided missile is correct.
Explanation
1) It is an anti-tank guided missile: Correct
The MPATGM is indeed an anti-tank guided missile. It is a lightweight, portable missile system that is highly effective against armored vehicles. It is designed to be used by infantry soldiers to engage and destroy enemy tanks and other armored targets. The missile is guided by an operator using a thermal sight and a command guidance system, enabling it to accurately hit its target.
2) The Amogha and Nag missiles are also related to this missile: Correct
The second statement is also correct. The Amogha and Nag missiles are related to the MPATGM missile. The Amogha missile is an advanced version of the MPATGM developed by the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) of India. It is an upgraded variant with improved features and capabilities.
The Nag missile, also developed by DRDO, is another anti-tank guided missile system. It is not directly related to the MPATGM, but it is part of India's overall anti-tank missile arsenal. The Nag missile is a third-generation fire-and-forget missile, meaning it does not require continuous guidance from the operator once it is launched. It is designed to be highly effective against armored targets, including tanks.
In conclusion, both statements are correct. The MPATGM is an anti-tank guided missile, and the Amogha and Nag missiles are related to this missile system.
