Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect because the National Development Council (NDC) is an apex body that reviews the work of the Planning Commission, rather than being its organ [2]. The Planning Commission reported to the NDC, and the NDC's composition included members of the Planning Commission along with the Prime Minister and Chief Ministers [2]. Statement 2 is correct as 'Economic and Social Planning' is listed under Entry 20 of the Concurrent List (List III) in the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution. Statement 3 is correct as Article 243G, introduced by the 73rd Amendment, mandates that State Legislatures may endow Panchayats with powers to prepare plans for economic development and social justice [3]. Therefore, statements 2 and 3 are correct, while statement 1 is false.
