I am wondering if the quality of the EESL LED bulbs distributed under the Hosa Belaku Yojane meets any well known standards.

The business of medical education

You would never find advertisements for "confirmed admission" to any IIT or AIIMS or one asking you to book a seat in advance in any of these premier institutes. Neither are there advertisements promising you selection for the civil services or placement in an all-India service of your choice.
