The Extramural Research Grant Policy launched in New Delhi in November 2026 belongs to which organisation?
- A.Sports Authority of India
- B.National Anti-Doping Agency
- C.National Dope Testing Laboratory
- D.World Anti-Doping Agency
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the National Dope Testing Laboratory, whose Extramural Research Grant Policy was launched by the Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports at the quality assurance managers' meeting in New Delhi, along with the laboratory's newsletter. Option A is wrong because the Sports Authority of India did not bring out this policy; the grant is aimed at research in advanced detection and prevention methods, which is laboratory work. Option B is wrong because the National Anti-Doping Agency enforces anti-doping rules but was not named as the owner of the policy. Option D is wrong because the World Anti-Doping Agency is the global body and was represented at the meeting by its Senior Associate Director for laboratory science and medicine, not as the author of an Indian grant policy. The meeting itself was organised by the laboratory that launched the policy.
