Answer 1

The correct option is B 2 Only

The India-UN Development Partnership Fund is a dedicated facility within the United Nations Fund for South-South Cooperation established in 2017. It is supported and led by the Government of the Republic of India, managed by the United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation, and implemented in collaboration with the United Nations system. The India-UN Development Partnership Fund supports Southern-owned and led, demand-driven, and transformational sustainable development projects across the developing world, with a focus on least developed countries and small island developing states. About 2,300 Army personnel left for South Sudan in February 2018 to join the UN peacekeeping mission in the war-torn African country. The Army personnel joined the UN mission, are from Infantry battalion of Garhwal Rifles regiment. So only statement 2 is correct.
