The correct answer is option 3, which states that both statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Statement 1 asserts that the Departmental Committee of the Parliament of India on the Welfare of the Scheduled Castes (SCs) and the Scheduled Tribes (STs) examines whether the Union Government has secured due representation of the SCs and the STs in the services and posts under its control. This means that the committee is responsible for ensuring that the government provides adequate representation for SCs and STs in its workforce.

Statement 2 states that the committee also reports on the working of welfare programs for SCs and STs in the Union Territories. This means that the committee assesses the effectiveness and implementation of welfare programs designed to benefit SCs and STs in the Union Territories.

Therefore, statement 1 focuses on representation in government services, while statement 2 focuses on welfare programs in Union Territories. Both statements depict the responsibilities and functions of the Departmental Committee on the Welfare of the SCs and the STs accurately.
