Explanation

The National Development Council (NDC) was established in August 1952 as an executive body to facilitate cooperation between the Centre and the States in planning [1]. Its composition includes the Prime Minister of India as the Chairman, all Union Cabinet Ministers, and the Chief Ministers of all States [2]. Additionally, it includes the Chief Ministers and administrators of Union Territories and members of the NITI Aayog (formerly the Planning Commission) [1]. While the Finance Minister is a member by virtue of being a Union Cabinet Minister, the Chairman of the Finance Commission is not a constituent member of the NDC. The Council serves as the apex body for decision-making and deliberations on development matters, ensuring balanced and rapid development across the country [2]. Therefore, statements 1, 3, and 4 are correct, while statement 2 is incorrect.
