General KnowledgeCurrent Affairs
- A2 only
- B1 only
- C2 and 3 only
- D1, 2 and 3
Explanation
Statement 1 alone is correct. The Moidams — the mound-burial system of the Ahom dynasty in Assam — were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2024, India's 43rd such site. In October 2024, classical-language status was granted to Marathi, Pali, Prakrit, Assamese and Bengali — not Maithili — so statement 2 is false. Project PARI (Public Art of India) is an initiative of the Ministry of Culture (implemented by the Lalit Kala Akademi), not the Ministry of Education, so statement 3 is false.
