Which institution handles the promotion of Classical Languages under the Ministry of Education?
Central Institute of Indian Languages
The Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL), Mysuru, is the body under the Ministry of Education tasked with the promotion, protection and study of Indian languages, including the officially notified Classical Languages.
CIIL runs dedicated Centres of Excellence for Classical Languages (such as Tamil, Sanskrit, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Odia) and coordinates awards, scholarships and research for them.
The Sahitya Akademi is the national academy of letters (literary awards), the IGNCA works on arts and culture, and the ASI deals with archaeology and monuments — none of these handle classical-language promotion.
Hence, the correct institution is the Central Institute of Indian Languages.
