The National School of Drama was set up in 1959 under the aegis of the Sangeet Natak Akademi, before becoming an independent entity in 1975. The Sahitya Akademi’s highest honour is election to its Fellowship—reserved for just 21 ‘immortals of literature’—making Statement 2 correct as well. Thus both statements are correct.
