At the BHASHINI Rajyam Workshop held in October 2026, the Digital India BHASHINI Division signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the government of which state?
- A.Mizoram
- B.Meghalaya
- C.Manipur
- D.Nagaland
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Manipur. The Digital India BHASHINI Division signed the Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Manipur at the Manipur Chapter of the BHASHINI Rajyam Workshop, held in Imphal on 14 October 2026. Amitabh Nag, the division's Chief Executive Officer, signed for it, while Somorjit Salam, IAS, Secretary for Information Technology, signed for the state. The state's Chief Minister, Yumnam Khemchand Singh, attended the programme. Mizoram, Meghalaya and Nagaland are therefore wrong: none of these three states was party to this agreement, and the workshop was not held in any of them. The languages named at the session, among them Manipuri, Tangkhul, Thadou, Paite, Hmar and Liangmai, are spoken in Manipur, and the live demonstration translated English into Manipuri, which again points only to Manipur. The BHASHINI Rajyam initiative is meant to build such partnerships with state governments one by one, so other states may sign later, but the agreement reported here belongs to Manipur alone.
