Q97
Geography (incl. West Bengal)Environment, Wildlife & Disasters
In 2006 NIDM was established. Which of the following is correct?
  1. a.False
  2. b.True
  3. c.By the Ministry of Human Resource
  4. d.By the External Affairs Ministry

Answer: (A) False

NIDM traces its origin to 2003, when it was established as the National Centre for Disaster Management; it was renamed the National Institute of Disaster Management under the Disaster Management Act, 2005 (effective 2006) — so the bare claim that it was "established" in 2006 is not accurate.
