2 only

Statement 1: Ol Chiki is a relatively modern script, devised by Pandit Raghunath Murmu around 1925. The Government of India has recently marked the completion of a century (100 years), not two hundred years, of its development. This statement is incorrect.

Statement 2: Ol Chiki is the script specifically created for and used to write the Santhali language, which is recognised as a scheduled language under the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution. This statement is correct.

Hence, the answer is that only statement 2 is correct, since Ol Chiki has been used for the Santhali language.
