{'national water academy': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'nwa': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'water resource planning': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'primary objective': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'state organizations': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'excellence': [1, 0, 3, 4], 'training': [0, 0, 4, 9]}

The correct answer is option 1, which states that only statement 1 is correct. The National Water Academy (NWA) does have the primary objective of functioning as a Centre of Excellence in training for in-service engineers from Central and State organizations on various aspects of water resource planning. This means that the NWA aims to provide high-quality training and skill enhancement opportunities to engineers working in water resource planning.

However, statement 2 is incorrect. The NWA is not located in New Delhi. It is actually located in Pune, Maharashtra. Pune is a city in western India, known for its educational institutions and research centers.

In summary, option 1 is correct because statement 1 accurately describes the objective of the NWA, but statement 2 is incorrect as the NWA is not located in New Delhi.
