keywords: 

{'cooperative society': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'cooperative societies': [1, 0, 1, 2], 'fundamental right': [9, 0, 2, 4], 'information act': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'ambit': [0, 1, 0, 1]}

Option 1 states that forming a cooperative society is a Fundamental Right in India. This statement is incorrect. The formation of cooperative societies in India is not explicitly mentioned as a Fundamental Right in the Constitution. Therefore, option 1 is not correct.

Option 2 states that cooperative societies do not fall within the ambit of the Right to Information Act, 2005. This statement is correct. The Right to Information Act, 2005 primarily applies to public authorities and not private entities like cooperative societies. Cooperative societies are governed by separate legislation and have their own rules and regulations. Therefore, option 2 is correct.

Based on the analysis, we can conclude that only option 2 is correct. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3 - Both 1 and 2.
