Given below are two statements: Statement-I Indian Council of Philosophical Research (ICPR), was established in 2000 by the University Grants Commission (UGC) as an autonomous organization. Statement II : Mahatma Gandhi National Council of Rural Education (MGNCRE) formerly National Council of Rural Institutes (NCRI) was established in 1995 as a registered autonomous society in Hyderabad. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
This question tests facts about two autonomous educational councils.
Statement I: It claims the Indian Council of Philosophical Research (ICPR) was established in 2000 (2010 in the Hindi text) by the University Grants Commission. This is incorrect. ICPR was actually established in 1977 as an autonomous organisation under the Ministry of Education (then Ministry of Human Resource Development), not by the UGC and not in 2000/2010. Hence Statement I is wrong.
Statement II: The Mahatma Gandhi National Council of Rural Education (MGNCRE), formerly the National Council of Rural Institutes (NCRI), was indeed established in 1995 as a registered autonomous society based in Hyderabad. This is correct.
Since Statement I is false and Statement II is true, the response 'Statement I incorrect but Statement II correct' is right.
Why the other choices fail: marking both correct accepts the false founding details of ICPR; marking both incorrect denies the accurate MGNCRE facts; the reverse pairing is wrong because it is the second statement, not the first, that is true.
Takeaway: ICPR was set up in 1977 by the Ministry (not by UGC in 2000/2010), whereas MGNCRE/NCRI was correctly founded in 1995 at Hyderabad.
Correct answer: Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
