Apologies for the confusion. The correct answer is:

Statement 1: Damodar Valley Corporation is the first multipurpose river valley project of independent India. This statement is correct.

Statement 2: Damodar Valley Corporation includes thermal and gas power stations. This statement is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is 1 only.
