How many Indian text languages does the BHASHINI platform currently support?

  1. A.22
  2. B.23
  3. C.35
  4. D.36

Correct answer

D. 36

Explanation

The correct answer is 36. BHASHINI supports that many Indian text languages. Option B, 23, is the trap here, because it is the number of Indian voice languages the platform supports, a related but different count. Option C, 35, is also drawn from the same set of figures: it is the number of international languages supported. Option A, 22, is wrong because it matches no figure given for the platform, though it may look familiar from other language contexts. Holding the three numbers apart is the point of a question like this: 36 text languages, 23 voice languages and 35 international languages. Beyond languages, the platform powers more than 800 government websites, has enabled more than 9 billion cumulative AI inferences and processes over 24 million inferences a day.

Q1.Science & TechnologyEasy

CAG-BHASHINI Anuvaad, launched in September 2026, is meant for which purpose?

  1. A.Auditing state government accounts online
  2. B.AI-enabled translation of official and audit-related documents
  3. C.Filing income tax returns in Indian languages
  4. D.Digitising old audit records into searchable images
Show answer

Correct answer: B. AI-enabled translation of official and audit-related documents

Explanation

The correct answer is AI-enabled translation of official and audit-related documents. The tool was built by BHASHINI as a customised language artificial intelligence solution for the audit institution, with care given to consistent terminology, translation that keeps context, and the quality of what comes out. Option A is wrong because the tool does not audit accounts; it translates the papers that audit work produces. Option C is wrong because it has nothing to do with tax filing. Option D is wrong because the aim is translation rather than the digitisation of old records. The solution also answers institutional requirements on security, controlled access and data sovereignty, and human oversight is retained rather than removed, so the machine assists the translator instead of replacing that judgement.

Q2.Science & TechnologyMedium

At the closing ceremony of which observance was CAG-BHASHINI Anuvaad launched?

  1. A.The 74th Hindi Diwas and Hindi Pakhwada 2026
  2. B.National Statistics Day 2026
  3. C.Good Governance Week 2026
  4. D.Digital India Week 2026
Show answer

Correct answer: A. The 74th Hindi Diwas and Hindi Pakhwada 2026

Explanation

The correct answer is the 74th Hindi Diwas and Hindi Pakhwada 2026, whose closing ceremony at the CAG Office in New Delhi was the occasion for the launch. Options B, C and D name other government observances and are wrong, because none of them hosted this launch. The Pakhwada itself ran from 14 to 29 September 2026, and the partnership extended beyond the translation tool: alongside the usual Hindi events, language activities and games built with BHASHINI were introduced so that officers and employees could handle language technology in an interactive way. Competitions were held on official language use, noting and drafting in Hindi, translation and typing, and the winners received prizes and certificates at the same closing ceremony.

Q3.Science & TechnologyMedium

Who is the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, present at the launch of CAG-BHASHINI Anuvaad?

  1. A.A. M. Bajaj
  2. B.K. Sanjay Murthy
  3. C.Nilotpal Goswami
  4. D.Amitabh Nag
Show answer

Correct answer: B. K. Sanjay Murthy

Explanation

The correct answer is K. Sanjay Murthy, who holds the office of Comptroller and Auditor General of India and attended the launch. He said that audit findings and reports ought to reach citizens in languages they understand, and pointed to the part technology can play in carrying audit information into local and regional languages. Option A, A. M. Bajaj, is wrong because he is the Deputy Comptroller and Auditor General. Option C, Nilotpal Goswami, is wrong because he is the Additional Deputy Comptroller and Auditor General handling official language work. Option D, Amitabh Nag, is wrong because he belongs to the other partner in this launch as Chief Executive Officer of the Digital India BHASHINI Division, which works under the Digital India Corporation in the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.

Q4.Science & TechnologyEasy

Sonitpur district, where the drive test was conducted, lies in which state?

  1. A.Meghalaya
  2. B.Assam
  3. C.Tripura
  4. D.Manipur
Show answer

Correct answer: B. Assam

Explanation

The correct answer is Assam. The drive test was carried out across parts of Sonitpur district, which falls in the Assam Licensed Service Area, and it was supervised by the TRAI Regional Office at Kolkata. Licensed Service Areas are the units into which telecom licensing is organised in India, and they usually follow state boundaries, which is why the report refers to the Assam LSA throughout. Options A, C and D name Meghalaya, Tripura and Manipur, which are other north-eastern states with their own service areas and were not part of this exercise. Remember the pairing of the district with its state and with the supervising regional office, since drive test questions are usually set on the place, the period and the operator that came out on top.

Q5.Science & TechnologyEasy

Which body conducts the Independent Drive Test that assesses mobile network quality?

  1. A.Telecom Regulatory Authority of India
  2. B.Bureau of Indian Standards
  3. C.Department of Posts
  4. D.Centre for Development of Telematics
Show answer

Correct answer: A. Telecom Regulatory Authority of India

Explanation

The correct answer is the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, the sector regulator, which conducts Independent Drive Tests through an appointed agency and publishes the findings for the information of telecom consumers. The purpose is to verify in real time the quality of voice and data services supplied by the telecom service providers, and to push those providers to improve. Option B, the Bureau of Indian Standards, is the national standards body and does not test mobile networks. Option C, the Department of Posts, runs postal services. Option D, the Centre for Development of Telematics, is a telecom research and development organisation that designs technology rather than auditing operators. Under TRAI the tests cover coverage, call setup success, dropped calls, call silence, speech quality and data throughput on live networks.
