Show answer
Answer: C. The BIMSTEC Cultural Industries Observatory is in Thimphu. The BIMSTEC Energy Centre is in Bengaluru. The BIMSTEC Centre for Weather and Climate is at NCMRWF, NOIDA. The BIMSTEC Technology Transfer Facility is in Colombo. So A-4, B-2, C-1, D-3.
Watch for: India hosts two centres, so students swap Bengaluru and NOIDA.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wrong because the Cultural Industries Observatory is in Thimphu, not Colombo.
- B. Wrong because Colombo hosts the Technology Transfer Facility, not the Cultural Observatory.
- D. Wrong because the Energy Centre is in Bengaluru and the Weather Centre is in NOIDA.
