2&3 only

1&3 only

All of the above

Explanation:

The Prime Minister of India paid tribute to social reformer Mahatma Ayyankali on his 157th birth anniversary.
Ayyankali (1863-1914), born in Kerala, was a leader of the lower castes and Dalits. With his efforts, Dalits got the freedom to walk on public roads, and Dalit children were allowed to join schools. He formed Sadhu Jana Paripalana Sangham (SJPS) to work for low castes.
Efforts to organise the “depressed classes” and particularly the untouchable castes predated the nationalist movement, having begun in the second half of the nineteenth century.
Ayyankali (28 August 1863 – 1941) did not participate in Quit India Movement that started on 8 August 1942, during World War II, demanding an end to British Rule of India.

Hence only statements 1&3 are correct.
