Explanation:

Only statement 1st is incorrect.

National Population Register(NPR) is a register of usual residents of the country.

?Note: A usual resident for the purposes of NPR is a person who has resided in a place for six months or more and intends to reside there for another six months or more.

NPR is different from both the decennial census and the National Register of Citizens (NRC).
The objective of the NPR is to create a comprehensive identity database of every usual resident in the country.
It is mandatory for every usual resident of India to register in the NPR.
For the purpose of the NPR, a usual resident is defined as a person who has resided in a local area for six months or more or a person who intends to reside in that area for the next six months or more.
The NPR earlier collated in 2010 and 2015 has an electronic database of more than 119 crore residents.

Hence option 2nd is correct.
