Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

The National Centre for Good Governance (NCGG) was established in 2014 by the Government of India as an apex-level autonomous institution [2]. It operates under the aegis of the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, not the Ministry of Home Affairs. The NCGG traces its origins to the National Institute of Administrative Research (NIAR), which was set up in 1995 by the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA); NIAR was subsequently rechristened and subsumed into the NCGG. Statement 1 is incorrect as it was not set up by the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy. The Governing Body of the NCGG is chaired by the Cabinet Secretary to the Government of India, making statement 4 correct. Therefore, only statements 2 and 4 are accurate.
