{'administrative reforms commission': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'administrative reform': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'secretary': [2, 1, 6, 8], 'union government': [2, 0, 2, 1], 'department': [1, 0, 13, 12], 'minister': [2, 0, 0, 0], 'prime minister': [6, 3, 0, 4], 'personnel': [0, 0, 2, 2]}

The first statement is incorrect. N. Gopalaswamy Iyengar Committee didn`t suggest designating a minister and a secretary solely for the pursuance of administrative reform and promoting it. The actual recommendation of the committee isn`t specified in the question, however, it doesn`t align with the statement.

The second statement, on the other hand, is correct. The Department of Personnel was indeed established in 1970, following the recommendations of the Administrative Reforms Commission of 1966. This department was put under the charge of the Prime Minister to oversee personnel matters.

Consequently, only option 2 is correct, which asserts only the second statement is correct making it the right answer. It`s essential to understand the context and accuracy of each provided statement in multiple-choice questions to choose the most appropriate response.
