Explanation:

The third statement is incorrect as the review on Endosulfan was not within the purview of the committee as the matter was before Supreme Court and the Cholanaikkans, who live in the deciduous forests of Nilambur (silent Valley of Kerala), are the only surviving hunter gatherer tribe in the country and the only tribal community in Asia that lives in rock-cave shelters.
Scientists at the Jawaharlal Nehru Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute (JNTBGRI) here have confirmed the multiple therapeutic properties of Neurocalyx calycinus used by the Cholanaickan tribe.
The researchers have filed for a patent on a novel herbal drug formulation possessing wound-healing, burn-healing, anti-cancer, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, immuno- enhancing, platelet-augmentation and anti-oxidant effects.
