• D. Kannada

Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

In recent years, the Government of India has actively promoted the use of Hindi at the international level. In line with this, in 2023, India donated \$1 million to the United Nations specifically to support the promotion and increased usage of the Hindi language in UN communications. The initiative aims to:
Increase availability of UN documents and news content in Hindi.

Translate press releases, social media content, and official documents.

Broaden Hindi’s role on the global diplomatic platform. Why the other options are incorrect:
(B) Sanskrit – Not actively promoted at UN level.

(C) Tamil – While culturally rich, no such donation was made for Tamil.

(D) Kannada – Not linked to any recent UN promotion funding.
