The first statement is correct. According to the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006, diversion of forest land for public utility facilities managed by the government can indeed be done with the prior recommendation of the Gram Sabha (the village assembly). Therefore, statement 1 is correct.

The second statement is incorrect. Minor forest produce, as defined by the Act, includes items such as bamboo, tendu leaves, medicinal plants, and other non-timber forest products, but it does not include timber, animal skin, or medicinal plants and herbs. Therefore, statement 2 is incorrect.
