The Digital India BHASHINI Division functions under which ministry of the Government of India?
- A.Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology
- B.Ministry of Education
- C.Ministry of Culture
- D.Ministry of Information and Broadcasting
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. The Digital India BHASHINI Division works under the Digital India Corporation, which comes under that ministry, and it is advancing what the government calls a Language-First Digital Public Infrastructure for the country. The Ministry of Education is wrong: although language learning and teaching material are part of the wider effort, the division is not placed under it. The Ministry of Culture is wrong as well, because the work here is about datasets, AI models, APIs and digital service delivery rather than cultural promotion. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, which handles broadcasting and publicity, is not the parent ministry either. The division's own figures show why it belongs with the technology ministry: the platform runs on more than 800 government websites, has served over 9 billion AI inferences so far, and processes more than 24 million inferences a day.
