Explanation

The National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Centre (NCIIPC), established under the Information Technology (Amendment) Act 2008, is the nodal agency for protecting India's Critical Information Infrastructure (CII). NCIIPC has broadly identified six 'Critical Sectors' whose disruption would have a debilitating impact on national security, economy, or public health. These sectors are: 1. Power and Energy, 2. Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI), 3. Telecom, 4. Transport, 5. Government, and 6. Strategic and Public Enterprises. Based on this classification, 'Power and Energy' (1) and 'Banking and Financial services' (3) are officially identified critical sectors [1]. While 'Industry' (2), 'Irrigation' (4), and 'Education' (5) are vital for development, they are not among the specific sectors designated as 'critical' by NCIIPC for information infrastructure protection. Therefore, only statements 1 and 3 are correct.
