Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Department of Official Language (Raj Bhasha Vibhag) is a department under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in the Government of India. It was established in June 1975 to ensure the implementation of constitutional and legal provisions regarding the official language and to promote the use of Hindi for official purposes of the Union [3]. While the Ministry of Personnel handles general policies for Central Services [1], the Ministry of Home Affairs serves as the nodal ministry for various administrative functions, including the oversight of the Department of Official Language [3]. The Secretariat of the Committee of Parliament on Official Language is also considered a subordinate office of this department under the Ministry of Home Affairs [3]. Official government budget documents and organizational charts confirm that the Raj Bhasha Vibhag operates directly under the administrative control of the Ministry of Home Affairs [3].
