Consider the following statements regarding the cheetah reintroduction initiative in India:1.An Indian-born cheetah at Kuno National Park recently gave birth to five cubs, expanding the re-established population.2.The cheetah was declared officially extinct in India by the Ministry of Rural Development in 1952.Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Statement 1 is correct because an Indian-born cheetah at Kuno National Park successfully gave birth to five cubs. Statement 2 is incorrect because the cheetah was declared officially extinct in India in 1952, but not by the Ministry of Rural Development (extinction is a historical ecological record, and NTCA/MoEFCC handle wildlife matters, not Rural Development).
