The Constitution (71st Amendment) Act, 1992 amends the Eighth Schedule Constitution to include which of the following languages?

1. Konkani

2. Manipuri

3. Nepali

4. Maithili

Select the correct answer using the code given below.

The correct option is 1, 2 and 3.

The Eighth Schedule to the Constitution of India lists the official languages of the Republic of India. Originally, the Constitution included 14 languages in this Schedule. Over time, several amendments have been passed to include more languages, raising the total number of languages to 22.

The Constitution (71st Amendment) Act, 1992 amended the Eighth Schedule to include the following three languages:
1. Konkani
2. Manipuri
3. Nepali

Therefore, statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct. A common mnemonic to remember these three languages added by the 71st Amendment is "KMN" (Konkani, Manipuri, Nepali).

Maithili (statement 4), along with Bodo, Dogri, and Santhali, was added to the Eighth Schedule much later by the Constitution (92nd Amendment) Act, 2003. Hence, statement 4 is incorrect in the context of the 1992 amendment.
