The Prime Minister's National Relief Fund is operated by which one of the following bodies?

The Prime Minister's National Relief Fund (PMNRF) is operated and managed by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO). Established in 1948, the fund is recognized as a Trust and is managed by the Prime Minister or multiple delegates for national causes [2]. It operates from the Prime Minister's Office located at South Block, New Delhi [2]. The fund consists entirely of voluntary public contributions and does not receive any budgetary support from the government [2]. While the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) is the apex body for disaster management and is headed by the Prime Minister, it is a separate statutory body under the Ministry of Home Affairs [1]. The PMNRF is specifically administered on an honorary basis by officers and staff within the PMO, and disbursements are made only with the approval of the Prime Minister [2].
