This question is flawed and has no valid option. Statement 1 is rejected because the RPwD Act was passed in 2016, not 2018. Statement 2 is accepted because Sugamya Bharat covers built environment, transport, and ICT accessibility. Statement 3 is rejected because universal accessibility across all central government buildings is an unfulfilled goal.
