Explanation:

2 and 3

The first statement is incorrect. The Panchayats (Extension to the Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996 (PESA) does not extend Part IX of the Constitution to the Sixth Schedule Areas. Instead, it provides a separate set of provisions for governance in the Scheduled Areas. Therefore, statement 1 is incorrect.

The second statement is correct. PESA does indeed give the gram sabha/panchayat the right of mandatory consultation in land acquisition, resettlement, and rehabilitation of displaced persons. This provision aims to ensure that the concerns and interests of the local communities are taken into account in such processes.

The third statement is also correct. PESA enhances people’s participation in decision-making by empowering the gram sabha/panchayat with substantial powers related to the management of natural resources, local administration, and social justice within the Scheduled Areas.
