GS PrelimsPolityExecutive System2004 Which of the following pairs is correctly matched? Department Ministry of the Government of India
1. Department of Women and Child Development - Ministry of Health and Family
2. Department of Official Language - Ministry of Human Resource
3. Department of Drinking Water Supply - Ministry of Water Resources
Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
Checking the administrative allocation of Departments within Ministries of the Government of India (around 2004):
1. Pair 1: Department of Women and Child Development - At that time (and until it became a separate Ministry in 2006), this Department was under the Ministry of Human Resource Development, not the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. So, Pair 1 is incorrectly matched.
2. Pair 2: Department of Official Language - This Department functions under the Ministry of Home Affairs, not the Ministry of Human Resource Development. So, Pair 2 is incorrectly matched.
3. Pair 3: Department of Drinking Water Supply - This Department (later becoming part of the Ministry of Jal Shakti) was under the Ministry of Rural Development around 2004, not the Ministry of Water Resources (which existed separately). So, Pair 3 is incorrectly matched.
Since all three pairs are incorrectly matched, the correct answer is (D) None.
