Explanation

The National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM) was originally established as the National Centre for Disaster Management in 1995 and was redesignated as NIDM in 2003 [3]. However, it was formally notified as a statutory body under the Disaster Management Act, 2005, in the year 2006 [3]. This confirms statement 1 is correct regarding its constitution as a statutory entity. Under Section 42 of the Disaster Management Act, 2005, NIDM is mandated to plan and promote training and research, maintain a national information base, and provide assistance in national-level policy formulation [2]. Specifically, official guidelines state that NIDM may provide assistance in national-level policy formulation for disaster management [2]. Therefore, statement 2 is also correct as the institute is entrusted with assisting in policy development alongside its primary role in capacity building and research.
