This initiative includes several promotional measures.
1. Central financial assistance is provided under various schemes, often as viability gap funding or incentives for setting up CBG plants based on agricultural residue, cattle dung, etc.
2. CBG projects are included under the Priority Sector Lending guidelines by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), facilitating easier access to credit from banks for setting up these plants.
3. The government provides customs duty concessions and exemptions for the import of specific machinery and equipment required for CBG purification, compression, and bottling plants, particularly those not manufactured domestically, to reduce project costs and encourage investment.

Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct.

2. These vessels are equipped with state-of-the-art hydrographic equipment, including various sonars, sensors, and data collection systems, enabling them to collect oceanographic, geophysical, and geo-spatial data crucial for naval operations, defence applications, and civil charting purposes.

Based on the provided statements, Statement 2 is correct, and Statement 1 is incorrect. However, the options refer to statements 3 and 4, which are not present in the question. Assuming Option D (“2 and 3 only”) is the intended answer structure implying Statement 2 is correct and Statement 1 is incorrect, and a hypothetical Statement 3 was also intended to be correct, we select D.
Statement 1: It is observed on 28th February. This is incorrect. The National Sports Day is observed on 29th August.
Statement 2: It coincides with the birth anniversary of Major Dhyan Chand. This is correct. August 29th is the birth anniversary of the legendary Indian field hockey player, Major Dhyan Chand.
The question is fundamentally flawed as the options refer to statements 3 and 4 which are not provided. Assuming there was a typo in the options or statements and trying to interpret the most likely intent, Statement 2 is definitively correct based on facts about National Sports Day. Statement 1 is definitively incorrect. Since option D includes Statement 2 and has a plausible structure (“X and Y only”), it is the most likely intended answer among the incorrect options, assuming a missing Statement 3 was also meant to be correct. However, without the actual statements 3 and 4, a certain answer cannot be determined. We proceed with D under the assumption of a question/option error where D represents the correct combination including statement 2.

Statements 1 and 3 are correct.
1. The G20 is a forum for international economic cooperation. It does not have a permanent secretariat or staff. The presidency rotates annually among members, and the host country is responsible for organizing the summit and meetings.
3. Each G20 member (which includes 19 countries, the European Union, and the African Union) is represented by a Sherpa, who is the personal representative of the head of state or government. The Sherpas conduct the preparatory work for the summit.
2. The G20 was formed in 1999 following the Asian financial crisis. It is a forum, not an international organization founded on a legally binding treaty. Its members include both industrialized and developing economies, representing a significant portion of the world’s population, GDP, and trade.
4. Spain is a permanent guest invitee to the G20 summits, participating in all G20 events. However, stating it is “one of the two ‘Permanent Invitees'” is potentially inaccurate as there are other permanent institutional invitees (like the UN, IMF, World Bank, etc.) and the phrasing “two” is specific and not standard. Therefore, statement 4 is likely intended to be incorrect due to the precise number mentioned. Based on the options provided, only statements 1 and 3 are considered correct.
