(b)2 only
(c)Both 1 and 2
(d)Neither 1 nor 2
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 only
The National Child Labour Project (NCLP) scheme is implemented by the Union Ministry of Labour & Employment, not the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, so Statement 1 is false. The Gurupadswamy Committee (1979) was the first committee set up to study and recommend measures on child labour, so Statement 2 is true. Hence only Statement 2 is correct.
