Bharat-VISTAAR initially supports which languages?

Explanation

Bharat-VISTAAR was initially available in Hindi and English. ETGovernment reports that the platform is planned to expand in phases to a total of 11 Indian languages. The question therefore turns on the word “initially”: Hindi and English were the languages available at launch, whereas 11 languages is the future target. For this RAS Science and Technology current-affairs question, the fact to remember is that the platform began with Hindi and English, not all the languages in its expansion plan.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) The Hindi-only option is wrong because English was also available along with Hindi at launch.
• (C) The option with all 22 scheduled languages is wrong because Bharat-VISTAAR has a phased expansion plan and was not available in all scheduled languages at launch.
• (D) The option with Hindi, English, and Tamil is wrong because Tamil was not among the languages available at launch.

Concept

This question covers digital governance and technology-enabled service delivery in current affairs. RAS often tests launch-stage details of government digital platforms because the options can contrast current features with proposed future expansion.
