Explanation:

1 and 2

The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act, 2013, indeed mandates the appointment of a nodal officer at each level by the district officer (District Magistrate or Deputy Commissioner). This statement is true.

Workplace, as defined by the Act, includes not only a traditional office but also any place visited by the employee during the course of employment, including an office controlled by a cooperative society. Therefore, this statement is also true.

However, the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2013, was formulated based on the Vishaka Guidelines established by the Supreme Court of India in 1997, not the Prakash Singh Judgment. Thus, statement 3 is incorrect.
