Answer : Option D
Explanation

The Karnataka government has renamed all government residential schools to Maharishi Valmiki Residential Schools.

Raichur University will be renamed Maharishi Valmiki University.

The announcement was made by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on October 17, coinciding with Valmiki Jayanti.

Maharshi Valmiki is also known as Adi Kavi.

He is the author of the Ramayana, a significant epic in Hinduism.

Valmiki was born Agni Sharma to a Brahmin family, according to some ancient legends.

He became a thief for his livelihood before meeting the sage Narada.

Inspired by Narada’s teachings, Agni Sharma began to do penance.

Legend says that anthills formed around him during his penance.

After years of devotion, a divine voice named him Valmiki, meaning "born from anthills."
