Explanation:

Amid Pandemic, Karnataka government has not allocated funds to the Shuchi Scheme (a menstrual hygiene project), in its budget for 2020-21. As a result, the distribution of sanitary napkins has come to halt under the Scheme, affecting over 17 lakh school and college girls.

The Shuchi Scheme, started in 2013-14, was initially a Centrally-sponsored one. However, the Centre asked States to take over the scheme from 2015-16.
The central government has supported the States/UTs through National Health Mission (NHM) in their programme implementation plans for decentralised procurement of sanitary napkin packs.
It is aimed at instilling awareness about menstrual hygiene among adolescent girls.

Hence only statement 2nd is correct.
