Which of the following are Sectoral Information Centres ?
(i) National Information Centre for Food Science and Technology
(ii) National Information Centre for Management
(iii) National Information Centre for Microbiology
(iv) National Information Centre for Drugs and Pharmaceuticals
Answer: A
The sectoral centres are those for food science, management, and drugs and pharmaceuticals, so the answer is (i), (ii), (iv) are correct.
Under NISSAT (the National Information System for Science and Technology), sectoral information centres were set up at specialist institutions: NICFOS for food science and technology at CFTRI, Mysore; NICMAN for management at IIM, Ahmedabad; and NICDAP for drugs and pharmaceuticals at CDRI, Lucknow. Others covered leather, machine tools, chemicals, textiles and crystallography.
Microbiology was not one of the NISSAT sectors, so (iii) is the odd item out and every option that includes it is wrong.
