Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) 1 and 3 only
Under Article 30, religious or linguistic minorities can establish and administer their own educational institutions (statement 1 true). The Prime Minister’s 15-Point Programme specifically targets notified minorities for various welfare benefits (statement 3 true). Representation in Lok Sabha by presidential nomination exists only for the Anglo-Indian community under Article 331 and is not triggered automatically for every minority, so statement 2 is incorrect. Hence statements 1 and 3 only are correct.
