  • The NDMA was formally constituted on 27th September 2006, under the Disaster Management Act, 2005 with Prime Minister as its Chairperson and nine other members, and one such member to be designated as Vice-Chairperson.
  • The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is the ‘Nodal Ministry’ for the management of natural disasters in India. It is headquartered at NDMA Bhavan, Safdarjung Enclave, New Delhi. Hence option 2 is correct.
