Only statement 2nd is correct.

Article 21 of the Indian Constitution guarantees the right to life and personal liberty, but it does not specifically mention child labor. Right against Exploitation (Article 23) of the Indian Constitution prohibits child labor.
The Directive Principles of State Policy in the Indian Constitution guide the government to provide free and compulsory education for all children until they complete the age of 14 years. This is stated in Article 45, which directs the state to endeavor to provide early childhood care and education for all children until they complete the age of six years, as well as free and compulsory education for all children until they complete the age of fourteen years.
