Free and compulsory education (Art. 21-A) was inserted by the 86th Amendment Act, 2002—not the 76th; statement 1 is wrong. Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan includes components such as computer‐aided learning to bridge the digital divide, so statement 2 is correct. Education was moved from the State List to the Concurrent List by the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976; statement 3 is correct. Therefore only statements 2 and 3 are correct.
