NIP will be aligned with PM Gati Shakti Framework.Select the correct answer from the code given below.

1. A

   Only 1

   Option (a) claims that only the first statement is correct. However, statement 1 is incorrect because the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan was launched in October 2021, not 2022. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

2. B

   Only 2

   Option (b) states that only the second statement is correct, which is the accurate position. Statement 2 correctly identifies the seven engines of growth and the alignment of the National Infrastructure Pipeline with the PM Gati Shakti framework. Thus, this option serves as the correct answer.

3. C

   Both 1 and 2

   Option (c) claims that both statements 1 and 2 are correct. While statement 2 is valid, statement 1 fails because the scheme was launched in 2021 rather than 2022. Consequently, this choice is rejected.

4. D

   Neither 1 nor 2

   Option (d) asserts that neither statement is correct. This is wrong because statement 2 accurately details the seven engines and the integration of the National Infrastructure Pipeline. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Summary. Official key is (b) because statement 2 is factually correct while statement 1 contains an incorrect launch year. The PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan was officially launched by the Prime Minister in October 2021. Statement 2 rightly lists the seven engines of economic transformation and its integration with the National Infrastructure Pipeline. Aspirants often confuse the announcement year with subsequent implementation phases. Therefore, only the second statement holds true.
