India has 75 officially notified Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups spread across 18 States and the Andaman-Nicobar UT, so statement 1 is correct and statement 3 (95 groups) is wrong. A stagnant or declining population is one of the four criteria used for their identification, making statement 2 correct. Both Irular (Tamil Nadu) and Konda Reddi (Andhra Pradesh) figure in the notified list, so statement 4 is correct. Hence only 1, 2 and 4 are true.
