Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Prime Minister's National Relief Fund (PMNRF) is operated and managed by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO). Established in 1948, the fund is recognized as a Trust and is managed by the Prime Minister or multiple delegates for national causes [2]. It operates from the Prime Minister's Office located at South Block, New Delhi [2]. The fund consists entirely of voluntary public contributions and does not receive any budgetary support from the government [2]. While the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) is the apex body for disaster management and is headed by the Prime Minister, it is a separate statutory body under the Ministry of Home Affairs [1]. The PMNRF is specifically administered on an honorary basis by officers and staff within the PMO, and disbursements are made only with the approval of the Prime Minister [2].
