Correct answer: (D) 1, 3 & 4 only

Explanation

Only the points on Navodaya Vidyalayas, Operation Blackboard and Kasturirangan hold true.

Statement 1 is correct that Navodaya Vidyalayas were envisaged by the National Policy on Education of 1986.

Statement 3 is correct that Operation Blackboard aimed to improve school infrastructure.

Statement 4 is correct that NEP 2020 was drafted under the chairpersonship of the scientist K. Kasturirangan.

Statement 2 is wrong since NEP 2020 has no proposal for PM-Viksit Bharat Schools in every district by 2047.

Statement 5 is wrong because the Right to Education Act came in 2009, not from Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
