Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (b) National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA)
Explanation
The National Urban Innovation Stack (NUIS) is the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs' plan for shared digital infrastructure in cities. MoHUA released the NUIS strategy in February 2019, and the NUIS Digital Blueprint that followed was developed by MoHUA together with the National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA), its research institute, which published it.
The blueprint sets common standards and building blocks so that the digital platforms of different cities can work together and be reused. The National Urban Digital Mission (2021), run by MoHUA with the Ministry of Electronics and IT, builds on it.
