Consider the following statements : 1. The India Sanitation Coalition is a platform to promote sustainable sanitation and is funded by the Government of India and the World Health Organization. 2. The National Institute of Urban Affairs is an apex body of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs in Government of India and provides innovative solutions to address the challenges of Urban India. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Let's analyze the two statements: 1. The India Sanitation Coalition is a platform to promote sustainable sanitation and is funded by the Government of India and the World Health Organization: This statement is incorrect regarding its funding model. The India Sanitation Coalition (ISC) is an initiative hosted at FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry). It serves as a multi-stakeholder platform bringing together government, private sector, NGOs, financial institutions, and civil society to achieve sustainable sanitation. While it collaborates with government and international bodies, it is primarily driven by corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds, private sector contributions, and philanthropic organizations, rather than being directly funded by the Government of India and the World Health Organization as its core funding sources. 2. The National Institute of Urban Affairs is an apex body of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs in Government of India and provides innovative solutions to address the challenges of Urban India: This statement is correct. The National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) is indeed India's premier national think tank, research, and training institute on urban issues. It functions under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and plays a crucial role in supporting policy formulation, capacity building, and providing innovative solutions for urban development challenges in India. Therefore, only statement 2 is correct.
