Solution
(II) is the reason for (I).
Explanation:
Statement (II) directly explains the reason or policy behind Statement (I). One of UNESCO’s core global mandates is to provide financial grants and technical support to establish public library systems that promote education and international understanding. Because of this exact institutional policy, UNESCO stepped forward and provided the necessary financial and technical assistance to help the Indian government set up the Delhi Public Library in 1951 as a pilot project.
