Answer 2

Answer:

One of the ISRO centres is located in Shillong.

Explanation:

• The North Eastern-Space Applications Centre (NE-SAC), which is based in Shillong, is a collaborative project of DOS and the North Eastern Council (NEC) to use space science and technology to help the development of the North Eastern Region (NER).
• The center's mandate is to create high-tech infrastructure support to act as a catalyst for India's NER's overall growth by offering space science and technology assistance.
• Additionally, the centre coordinates with the State Remote Sensing Application Centers of NER and serves as a nodal point for the implementation of significant national and regional programs on natural resource management, infrastructure planning, healthcare, education, emergency communication, early warnings to support disaster management, and atmospheric science research.
• In addition to doing research and development projects for the ISRO Geo-sphere Biosphere Program, satellite communications, disaster management support, and space science programs, the centre has completed a number of applications projects supported by user agencies in the area.

Hence, option (1) is correct.
