Select the answer using the codes given below :
1 and 2 only
Let's evaluate each statement about the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) individually:
- Statement 1: "It is a constitutional body."
This statement is correct. The NCBC became a constitutional body after the 102nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 2018, which added Article 338B to the Indian Constitution. This amendment provided for a constitutional status to the NCBC to examine the requests for inclusion of any class of citizens as a backward class and hear complaints of over-inclusion or under-inclusion of any backward class in such lists. - Statement 2: "The National Commission for Backward Classes Act, 1993 has been repealed."
This statement is also correct. The National Commission for Backward Classes Act, 1993, was repealed as a result of the 102nd Constitutional Amendment, which established the NCBC as a constitutional body. - Statement 3: "The Secretary, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India heads the Commission."
This statement is incorrect. The NCBC is headed by a Chairperson, who is appointed by the President of India, not by the Secretary of the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment. The Commission comprises a Chairperson, Vice-chairperson, and three other members.
Based on the above evaluation, the correct statements are 1 and 2. Therefore, the correct answer is: 1 and 2 only.
