(b) Nagpur
(c) Bihar
(d) None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: It is a large city in the state of Maharashtra in central India. The Central Museum of the town exhibits objects found locally in the 19th century, including fossils, sarcophagi, and Mughal weapons. There are hands-on exhibits and a planetarium at The Raman Science Centre.

Complete step by step answer:
Nagpur was established in 1958 as 'Central Public Health Engineering' by the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) when environmental issues were limited to human health. In 1974, the Institute was renamed the 'National Environmental Engineering Research Institute' by Shrimati Indira Gandhi.

Additional information: The CSIR-National Research Institute for Environmental Engineering (CSIR-NEERI) is a research institute founded and funded by the Government of India. It was established in 1958 in Nagpur with a focus on the supply of water, the disposal of sewage, communicable diseases, and, to a certain extent, industrial pollution and occupational diseases common in post-independent India. NEERI is a leading environmental science and engineering laboratory and is a member of the CSIR (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research). In Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Mumbai, NEERI has five zonal laboratories. NEERI is part of the central government's Ministry of Science and Technology (India). NEERI is an important partner organization in the National Implementation Plan (NIP) of India's POPs.
So, the correct answer is ‘(b) Nagpur’.

Note: In 1958, Nagpur was founded as the Central Public Health Engineering Research Institute (CPHERI) of the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), when environmental issues were restricted to human health with a focus on water supply/water disposal / communicable diseases and, to some extent, industrial pollution and occupational diseases.
