Concept

An institutional location question asks for the city of the named organisation's headquarters or main campus, unless the stem specifies a regional centre.

Similar-sounding institutes and other laboratories in the same research network must be distinguished by their exact official names and addresses.

Application

CSIR–Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (CSIR–CIMAP) lists its main campus at Kukrail Picnic Spot Road, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. Therefore, the institution named in the question is situated in Lucknow.

Contrast

• Hyderabad is associated with CSIR through the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology.

• New Delhi houses the headquarters of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research.

• Bhopal is associated with CSIR through the Advanced Materials and Processes Research Institute.

• Lucknow hosts several CSIR laboratories, including the Central Drug Research Institute.

Cross-check

The official CSIR–CIMAP contact address identifies Lucknow, which agrees with the saved city value.
