    The correct answer is 1 only.

    Explanation:

    1. Carbon fibres are used in the manufacture of components used in automobiles and aircrafts:
      • Correct: Carbon fibres are widely used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and sports equipment manufacturing due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, durability, and resistance to corrosion.
    2. Carbon fibres once used cannot be recycled:
      • Incorrect: Carbon fibres can be recycled, although the process is complex and expensive. Advanced technologies like pyrolysis and chemical recycling are used to recover carbon fibres from composite materials. The recycled fibres are often used in applications where slightly lower strength is acceptable.

    Thus, only the first statement is correct.

    Here’s a breakdown of the statements in the context of the Anaemia Mukt Bharat (AMB) Strategy:

    1. Prophylactic calcium supplementation:
      • Incorrect: AMB focuses on iron and folic acid supplementation, not calcium supplementation. Calcium supplementation is addressed under other maternal and child health programs.
    2. Campaign for delayed cord clamping at the time of childbirth:
      • Correct: Delayed cord clamping is promoted as part of AMB to ensure improved iron stores in newborns, which helps prevent anaemia.
    3. Periodic deworming for children and adolescents:
      • Correct: AMB includes periodic deworming to address parasitic infections, a significant cause of anaemia in children and adolescents.
    4. Addressing non-nutritional causes of anaemia:
      • Correct: AMB recognizes non-nutritional causes such as malaria, hemoglobinopathies, and fluorosis in endemic areas and includes measures to address them.

    Thus, statements 2, 3, and 4 are correct, and only statement 1 is incorrect.

    How many of the given statements regarding 'Scheduled Areas' in India are correct?

    Statement 1 is accurate since, under Schedule V (Article 244) of the Indian Constitution, the President is empowered to declare specific regions as Scheduled Areas. Paragraph VI of the Fifth Schedule explicitly states that the term “Scheduled Areas” refers to those areas that the President may declare through an official order.

    Statement 2 is also correct. In April 2018, the Union Cabinet approved the declaration of certain areas in Rajasthan as Scheduled Areas under the Fifth Schedule. This included three entire districts—Banswara, Dungarpur, Pratapgarh—along with nine complete tehsils, one block, and 46 full gram panchayats across multiple districts like Udaipur, Rajsamand, Chittorgarh, Pali, and Sirohi. It is important to note that while a block can consist of a cluster of villages, individual villages from within a block can be grouped together to form the smallest administrative unit within the Scheduled Areas framework.

    Statement 3 is incorrect. According to the Constitution, the Governor of a state with Scheduled Areas is responsible for submitting annual reports to the President regarding the management and governance of those areas. Additionally, the President may require such a report at any time. Furthermore, the Union Government holds the authority to issue directions to state governments regarding the administration of these areas.

    Therefore, the correct answer is Only two.
