Correct answer: (C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Explanation

NEP 2020 places universal values and scientific temper within value-based education, and it does keep life skills and constitutional values too.

Statement 1 is correct, since NEP 2020 lists universal values and scientific temper in value-based education.

Statement 2 is wrong, because life skills and constitutional values are also part of that education.

Value education under NEP spans ethics, empathy and civic responsibility.

Constitutional values include liberty, equality, justice and fraternity.

Scientific temper reflects a spirit of inquiry and evidence-based thinking.
