What constitutes the primary objective of the Gyan Bharatam Mission?
Preserving, digitizing, and disseminating India's manuscript heritage
Answer: Option D — Preserving, digitizing, and disseminating India's manuscript heritage
Background: The Gyan Bharatam Mission is a Government of India initiative built around the country's vast and fragile manuscript heritage, aiming to survey, document, conserve and share ancient and rare manuscripts held in institutions and private collections.
Why this option is correct: News reports specifically described this manuscript preservation-and-digitisation mandate as the mission's primary objective.
Why the other options fail:
Option A (promoting Indian languages globally): A different, broader cultural-diplomacy goal, not this mission's specific manuscript focus.
Option B (developing new libraries): Library infrastructure is a separate initiative, not Gyan Bharatam's core mandate.
Option C (translating classical texts): Translation may be a secondary activity, but the mission's primary objective is preservation and digitisation, not translation per se.
