{'united nations millennium development goals report': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'millennium development': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'aggregate food availability': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'hunger levels': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'decades': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'goal': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

The correct answer is option 2: 2 only. Let`s dissect each option to understand why.

Option 1: The statement says that the aggregate food availability globally was relatively good in the years 2008 and 2009. However, this statement is not mentioned in the question or in the provided answer, so it is incorrect.

Option 2: The statement mentions that there has been good progress in the last two decades in South Asia in reducing hunger levels, and India is all set to achieve the Millennium Development Goal. This statement aligns with the information provided in the question, as it states that there has been progress in reducing hunger levels in South Asia and India is on track to achieve the goal. Therefore, this statement is correct.

Option 3: This option states that both statements 1 and 2 are correct. However, as discussed above, statement 1 is not mentioned anywhere, so this option is incorrect.

Option 4: This option states that neither statement 1 nor 2 is correct. However, as we have established that statement 2 is correct, this option is also incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2: 2 only.
