Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Statement 1 is true as Wage Boards are tripartite bodies comprising representatives of employers, employees, and independent members [2]. Statement 2 is false because the Wage Boards for Journalists and Non-Journalists are actually the only statutory wage boards in India, established under the Working Journalists and Other Newspaper Employees Act, 1955 [3]. Other wage boards, such as those for the sugar or cotton industries, are non-statutory and their recommendations are not legally binding [1]. Statement 3 is true as the Second National Commission on Labour (2002) unequivocally recommended that there was no further need for Wage Boards to be constituted for any industry, suggesting they had lost their utility in the changing economic landscape. Since only statement 2 is false, the correct option is 2.
