Explanation

Inclusive growth in India is defined as a process that ensures broad-based benefits and equality of opportunity for all segments of society [3]. Assessing its success requires looking beyond aggregate GDP to specific social and regional dimensions. Statement 2 is critical because inclusive growth must specifically include marginalized groups like SCs, STs, and minorities who have historically faced social exclusion [5]. Statement 3 is valid as government flagship programs and social protection systems are key policy tools to promote inclusion and reach the socially excluded [6]. Statement 4 is essential because inclusive growth must be spread across all states rather than being concentrated [5], and a state-by-state human development profile captures essential socio-economic indicators like health and education that define well-being [5]. While economic growth indicators (Statement 1) are important, they alone do not measure 'inclusiveness' unless linked to distribution and social justice [5].
