Which of the following autonomous scientific institutions come under the financial umbrella of the Department of Science and Technology?
A. Bose Institute, Kolkata.
B. Agarkar Research Institute, Pune
C. Raman Research Institute, Bangalore
D. Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, Dehradun
E. Indian Council of Astrological science, Bangalore
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) A, B, C, and D only
Among the institutions listed, those that are autonomous scientific institutions and come under the financial umbrella of the Department of Science and Technology (DST) include:
A. Bose Institute, Kolkata - While Bose Institute is a premier research institute, it is not primarily funded by the DST. It receives funding from multiple sources including government agencies.
B. Agarkar Research Institute, Pune - Also known as Agharkar Research Institute (ARI), it is an autonomous institute that comes under the Department of Science and Technology.
C. Raman Research Institute, Bangalore - The Raman Research Institute is indeed an autonomous institute, but its primary funding does not directly come under the DST.
D. Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, Dehradun - This institute is an autonomous research organization under the DST, focusing on Himalayan geology.
E. Indian Council of Astrological Science, Bangalore - This does not fit the profile of a scientific research institute under the DST. It is not considered a part of the autonomous scientific institutions funded by the Department of Science and Technology.
Given the correct affiliations:
• Bose Institute and Raman Research Institute have significant historical and scientific importance and receive government support, but their funding and administrative details need precise checking as they may have diverse funding sources, including but not exclusively DST.
• Agarkar Research Institute and Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology are directly associated with DST in terms of funding and administration.
