Explanation
Statement 1 is correct: Moidams – the Mound-Burial System of the Ahom Dynasty in Charaideo, Assam – was inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List in July 2024, becoming India's 43rd World Heritage Site and the first cultural site from the North-East. Statement 2 is incorrect: in October 2024 the Government of India conferred classical language status to Pali, Marathi, Bengali, Assamese and Prakrit — Maithili was NOT included (Marathi and Prakrit were). Statement 3 is incorrect: Project PARI (Public Art of India) is an initiative of the Ministry of Culture (through Lalit Kala Akademi and NGMA), not the Ministry of Education. Hence only statement 1 is correct.
