{'rajiv gandhi national institute': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'tamil nadu': [3, 0, 1, 1], 'karnataka': [5, 0, 6, 5], 'youth development': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'himachal pradesh': [6, 1, 6, 4], 'uttaranchal': [1, 0, 5, 0]}

The Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development (RGNIYD) is indeed located in Tamil Nadu, making option 1 the correct answer. This institute is a government organization situated in Sriperumbudur, a town in Kanchipuram district of Tamil Nadu state.

Option 2 suggests Karnataka, which is inaccurate as, although the state houses a multitude of educational institutions, the RGNIYD is not among them.

Option 3 and option 4 suggest Himachal Pradesh and Uttaranchal (now known as Uttarakhand) respectively. While these states also host several reputed institutions, the RGNIYD is not located in either of them. Therefore, both these options are incorrect.

In summary, the Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development is based in Tamil Nadu, thus rendering option 1 as the correct answer.
