BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false ✓ Correct

CStatement I is true but Statement II is false

DStatement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer: (B) Both Statement I and Statement II are false

Explanation

Both statements reverse the real aims of the two schemes.

The Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya National Mission on Teachers and Teaching actually focuses on teacher training, faculty development and strengthening the teaching-learning process, not socially relevant science research.

The Scheme for Promotion of Academic and Research Collaboration actually promotes joint research with leading foreign institutions, not teacher training and faculty development.

The teaching mission sets up teacher-education and capacity-building centres across all disciplines.

The research-collaboration scheme supports faculty and student exchange and shared projects with top global universities.

Both are higher education programmes of the Union Ministry of Education.
