Which Article of the Constitution of India provides for the appointment of a special officer for linguistic minorities and defines their duties?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Article 350B of the Constitution was inserted by the Seventh Constitutional Amendment Act of 1956 and provides for the appointment of a Special Officer for Linguistic Minorities by the President, tasked with investigating constitutional safeguards for linguistic minority groups. Articles 350 and 350A deal with grievance redressal in mother tongue and primary education facilities respectively, but not this specific statutory office. This institutional mechanism promotes national integration and protects cultural diversity.
