Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The National Institute of Water Sports (NIWS) is situated in Panaji, Goa [t1][t2]. Established in July 1990 by the Ministry of Tourism, it serves as the apex body for professionalizing and standardizing water sports and adventure tourism in India [t4][t5]. The institute operates as a specialized center under the Indian Institute of Tourism and Travel Management (IITTM), functioning as its west campus [t1][t4]. It is recognized as the largest water sports institute in Southeast Asia and provides essential training and licensing for lifeguards, tour operators, and water sports professionals [t1][t5]. Recently, the institute gained architectural prominence for its new 16.5-acre beachside campus in Panaji, which features a wave-inspired design reflecting the dynamic nature of the Arabian Sea [t3][t4]. While other states like Kerala have significant inland waterways and navigation institutes, the specific National Institute of Water Sports is uniquely located in Goa [c1][t5].
