The Seventh Schedule of the Constitution (Article 246) divides legislative subjects between the Union List, the State List and the Concurrent List.

Statement 1 is incorrect: 'Police' (including railway and village police) is Entry 2 of List II, the State List. Along with public order (Entry 1), it is a state subject.

Statement 2 is correct: 'Agriculture, including agricultural education and research' is Entry 14 of the State List.
