Adi Vaani, the AI-powered translation platform for tribal languages, is an initiative of which ministry?
- A.Ministry of Culture
- B.Ministry of Education
- C.Ministry of Tribal Affairs
- D.Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Ministry of Tribal Affairs. Adi Vaani is its artificial-intelligence platform for tribal languages, launched on 1 September 2025 and built by a consortium led by IIT Delhi along with BITS Pilani, IIIT Hyderabad, IIIT Nava Raipur and several State Tribal Research Institutes. The same ministry funds the Tribal Research Institutes that gather the language data and it convened the Working Group on Tribal Languages. The Ministry of Culture handles heritage, museums and the arts, so option A is wrong. The Ministry of Education frames the National Education Policy, whose call for mother-tongue teaching the platform supports, but it does not own Adi Vaani, so option B is wrong. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology runs other language technology programmes but is not named here, so option D is wrong.
