Question

How many national-level research centres are there in Bihar?

• A. One
• B. Two
• C. Three
• D. Four Correct Answer: (A) One

Hint:

To avoid confusion in competitive exams, distinguish between regular ICAR Institutes and NRCs. Bihar's sole standalone NRC is exclusively dedicated to Litchi research in Muzaffarpur.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Know the term.
A National Research Centre, or NRC, is a special ICAR centre that works on one chosen crop or topic.

Step 2: Count them in Bihar.
Bihar has just one such centre, the National Research Centre for Litchi at Muzaffarpur. Other ICAR units in the state, like the centre in Patna, fall under different groups and are not counted as NRCs.

Step 3: Final pick.
So the number of NRCs in Bihar is one.
\[ \boxed{\text{One}} \]
