Explanation

It uses the GSAT-15 satellite for transmission, and Statement 1 reports these details correctly.

SWAYAM PRABHA is run by the Ministry of Education to reach learners without reliable internet access.

Statement 2 claims the 2014 concept note for the National Education Policy listed 53 themes.

That figure is inaccurate, which makes Statement 2 wrong on its numerical detail.

SWAYAM is the related MOOC portal, distinct from the SWAYAM PRABHA television channels.
