Correct answer: (D) Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct — Statement I is incorrect while Statement II is correct, so the answer is the last option.
Explanation
★Statement I is incorrect while Statement II is correct, so the answer is the last option.
★The District Planning Committee is constituted under the 74th Amendment, not the 73rd.
★It consolidates the plans of the panchayats and municipalities in a district.
★Statement II is correct, because the Metropolitan Planning Committee comes under the 74th Amendment.
★It is set up in every metropolitan area to prepare a draft development plan.
★So both planning committees come under the 74th Amendment.
★Hence Statement I wrongly assigns the District Planning Committee to the 73rd Amendment.
