The Ministries Commission was set up in 1979 for the protection of ministers. This commission was established to provide certain safeguards and protections to government ministers in their official capacity.

The National Commission for Minorities (likely 'Ministries Commission' in the question) was granted statutory status in 1992 through the National Commission for Minorities Act. This gave the Commission legal authority and independence to protect minority rights in India.

Zimbabwe gained independence from Britain on April 18, 1980, after a long liberation struggle. This marked the end of white minority rule and the birth of a new nation.

The UN Charter was signed on June 26, 1945, by representatives from 50 countries in San Francisco. This document established the United Nations organization and its founding principles.

The basic plan of the United Nations was finalized at the Dumbarton Oaks Conference in 1944. This conference was attended by representatives from China, Soviet Union, United Kingdom, and United States, who drafted the proposals that became the foundation of the UN Charter. The San Francisco Conference in 1945 later finalized the actual Charter.

Amnesty International received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977 for its campaign against torture. The organization was founded in 1961 and has been a leading human rights advocacy group globally. The other years (1917, 1949, 1982) do not correspond to Amnesty International's Nobel Prize.

Correct answer is (1).

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) won its first Nobel Peace Prize in 1917 for its humanitarian work during World War I. The ICRC has won the Nobel Peace Prize three times (1917, 1944, and 1963), making it the most-awarded organization.

The CSO (Central Statistical Organisation) changed the base year for National Accounting from 1993-94 to 1999-2000 around 2005-06. Since independence, the base year had been changed five times: 1948-49, 1960-61, 1970-71, 1980-81, and 1993-94 before the 1999-2000 change. This was part of regular updates to better reflect economic structure.

The TRIPS (Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights) Agreement came into force on January 1, 1995. However, developing countries like India were given a 10-year transition period, so the operational date for India was January 1, 2005.

India's irrigation water use in 1951 was approximately 9.7 million hectare-metres, reflecting early post-independence agricultural development. This grew significantly by 1973 (18.4 million hectare-metres) as major dam and canal projects expanded.

The Planning Commission was established on March 15, 1950 through a government resolution. It was created to formulate India's Five-Year Plans for economic development and worked under the Prime Minister's guidance. The Commission was replaced by NITI Aayog in 2015. Option C (1950) is correct, coinciding with India becoming a Republic.

The Integrated Rural Development Programme (IRDP) was introduced in 1978-79 during the Sixth Five Year Plan. It was a major poverty alleviation initiative targeting rural areas through asset creation and employment generation.
