Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) Both 1 and 2
The 2016 National IPR Policy explicitly reaffirms India’s obligations under the WTO-TRIPS Agreement and the Doha Development Agenda, so Statement 1 is correct. It also designates the Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion (now DPIIT) as the nodal body for coordinating and implementing IPR matters, validating Statement 2; hence both statements are correct (option c).
