“National Mines and Small Industries Corporation Limited” is not a valid entity or a subject that falls under the control of the Ministry of Mines. There is no such public sector undertaking under this Ministry.
The Ministry of Mines is responsible for geological surveys, mineral exploration, regulation of mines and minerals, and public sector undertakings related to major minerals like NMDC, NALCO, HCL. The National Small Industries Corporation (NSIC) is a PSU under the Ministry of MSME, not the Ministry of Mines.
Options A (Geological Survey of India) and B (Indian Bureau of Mines) are key organizations under the Ministry of Mines. Option C (Metallurgical Grade Silicon) relates to processing minerals (like quartz) which are under the purview of the Ministry of Mines, although downstream metallurgy might also involve the Ministry of Steel.
