Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana was launched in 2008 under the Ministry of Labour & Employment (later shifted to Health in 2015), so statement 1 is incorrect. Rajiv Gandhi Shilpi Swasthya Bima Yojana is a health-insurance scheme started by the Ministry of Textiles for handicraft artisans, so statement 2 is correct. Therefore only statement 2 is true.
