Consider the following statements about targeting and leakage in poverty alleviation programs in India and Odisha: I. Aadhaar-based biometric authentication for PDS in Odisha has reduced duplicate ration cards, but studies show increased exclusion errors for elderly and tribal populations. II. Odisha's "One Nation One Ration Card" (ONORC) implementation allows migrant workers from Odisha to access subsidized grains in destination states. III. DBT for MGNREGS wages in Odisha has reduced corruption but not significantly reduced delays, as fund release remains sequential. IV. SECC 2011 data, still used for targeting, has not been updated, leading to inclusion of households that have exited poverty and exclusion of new poor. How many of the above statement is/are correct?
