Which one of the following institutions organizes the Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam IGNITE Awards for children?
Explanation
The National Innovation Foundation (NIF) – India, an autonomous body under the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India, organizes the annual Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam IGNITE awards. This national competition invites technological ideas and innovations from students up to class 12 or children up to 17 years of age who are out of school.
The initiative aims to foster a culture of creativity and grassroots innovation among young minds. Originally known as the IGNITE awards, they were renamed in 2015 to honor the memory of the late former President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, who was a staunch supporter of the NIF and young innovators. The other institutions listed, such as the National Knowledge Commission (an advisory body) and the Competition Commission of India (a market regulator), do not have mandates related to school-level innovation awards.
