BARC's establishment year is which of the following?

• A. 1954
• B. 1960
• C. 1948
• D. 1962

Answer: (A)

BARC’s establishment year tests your knowledge of its historical origin. It began in 1954 as Atomic Energy Establishment, Trombay, created by the Government of India under Homi J. Bhabha to advance the country’s atomic energy program. The center was later renamed Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in 1967, but the founding date remains 1954. The year 1948 is when the Atomic Energy Commission was formed—an earlier milestone in India’s nuclear policy—while the other years aren’t tied to the establishment of this center. So, the establishment year is 1954.
