"Nirbhaya Fund", a non-lapsable corpus fund, is to be utilised for projects specifically designed to improve the safety and security of women. By whom is it administered?

The Nirbhaya Fund was set up by the Government of India in 2013 following the December 2012 Delhi gang-rape case. It is a non-lapsable corpus fund administered by the Department of Economic Affairs under the Ministry of Finance. The Ministry of Women and Child Development is the nodal ministry for evaluation/recommendation of proposals to be funded under the scheme, but the fund itself is administered by the Ministry of Finance. Hence, Ministry of Finance is the correct answer.
