All of the above

The research and innovation investment in India is, at the current time, only 0.69% of GDP as compared to 2.8% in the United States of America, 4.3% in Israel and 4.2% in South Korea. The NEP 2020 has proposed setting up of National Research Foundation (NRF).

The primary activities of the NRF will be to

fund competitive, peer-reviewed grant proposals of all types and across all disciplines;
seed, grow, and facilitate research at academic institutions, particularly at universities and colleges where research is currently in a nascent stage, through mentoring of such institutions;
act as a liaison between researchers and relevant branches of government as well as industry, so that research scholars are constantly made aware of the most urgent national research issues, and so that policymakers are constantly made aware of the latest research breakthroughs; so as to allow breakthroughs to be optimally brought into policy and/or implementation.

Note: AICTE is responsible for formulation and maintenance of norms and standards of technical education.

Hence only statements 1&3 are correct.
