Consider the following statements about affirmative action and reservation policies in India and Odisha: I. The 103rd Constitutional Amendment Act provides for 10% reservation for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) and Odisha has implemented this with a creamy layer exclusion based on annual income (₹8 lakh). II. The Supreme Court's judgement in Janhit Abhiyan v. Union of India (2022) upheld EWS reservation but held that it cannot be applied as a sub-quota within SC/ST reservations. III. Odisha's State Reservation Policy of OBCs uses the "double creamy layer" concept (income + occupation), excluding certain professional categories regardless of income. IV. Reservation for persons with disabilities in Odisha's panchayat elections is calculated as a percentage of total seats, not population, leading to under-representation. How many of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
