Only statement 2 is correct.

– Statement 2 is correct. The National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) is indeed an autonomous institute under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India. It serves as a think tank and research institution providing expertise and innovative solutions for urban development challenges in India.

– Statement 1 is incorrect regarding the funding structure. The India Sanitation Coalition (ISC) is a multi-stakeholder platform hosted by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). While it collaborates with the Government of India (e.g., Swachh Bharat Mission) and involves various partners including corporates, NGOs, financial institutions, and civil society, it is not primarily funded by the Government of India and the World Health Organization in the manner implied. WHO may be involved as a technical partner or advisor, but not as a core funder of the coalition itself.
