The correct answer is

2 only

To determine which of the statements about "Jalvahak" is correct, we need to analyze both statements given in the question:

  1. Statement 1: "It is a newly commissioned naval ship inducted into the Indian Navy."
    • This statement is incorrect. There is no recent record or announcement indicating that "Jalvahak" is a naval ship inducted into the Indian Navy.
  2. Statement 2: "It is a major policy for cargo pro-motion unveiled by the Government of India."
    • This statement is correct. "Jalvahak" refers to a policy or scheme related to the promotion of inland water transport and cargo movement, initiated by the Government of India to enhance the efficiency of cargo transportation.

Based on this analysis, the correct answer is "2 only," as it accurately describes the purpose of "Jalvahak" in the context of government policy for cargo promotion. Thus, options such as statement 1 being a naval ship-related context are not applicable.
