The correct answer is (A) 1 only. The Indian Academy of Highway Engineers (IAHE) is registered as a society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. This makes statement 1 correct. IAHE functions as an autonomous body under the administrative control of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Government of India. While it trains engineers from both central and state governments, it is not structured as a “collaborative body” in terms of joint governance or equal partnership between Central and State Governments; its primary control lies with the central ministry. Therefore, statement 2 is incorrect in describing its structural nature.

The Indian Academy of Highway Engineers is a registered society operating under the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, primarily focused on training personnel for the highway sector.

IAHE plays a crucial role in capacity building and training for engineers involved in the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of highways in India. Its being a registered society gives it a degree of operational autonomy within the framework of government oversight.
