Explanation
The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety is implemented in India by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC). Official Indian documents identify MoEF&CC as the nodal agency and Competent National Authority responsible for implementing the Protocol, coordinating national biosafety regulation and related projects (including Capacity Building and the Biosafety Clearing-House), while working in coordination with scientific bodies such as the Department of Biotechnology and GEAC for technical matters [2]. Therefore, among the options given, the Ministry of Environment and Forests is the implementing Union Ministry for the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety in India.
