Explanation:

Recently, the entire Lakshadweep group of islands has been declared as an organic agricultural area under the Participatory Guarantee System (PGS) of India. 

• Lakshadweep is India’s smallest Union Territory, Lakshadweep is an archipelago consisting of 36 islands with an area of 32 sq km. It extends between 8 N and 12 N latitude.
• It is directly under the control of the Centre through an administrator.

There are three main group of islands: Amindivi Islands, Laccadive Islands, Minicoy Island.

• The Capital is Kavaratti and it is also the principal town of the UT.
• Amindivi Islands are the northernmost while Minicoy island is the southernmost.
• Minicoy Island, located to the south of the nine-degree channel is the largest island among the Lakshadweep group.
• The 8 Degree Channel ( 8 degrees north latitude) separates the islands of Minicoy and Maldives.
• The 9 Degree Channel ( 9 degrees north latitude) separates the island of Minicoy from the main Lakshadweep archipelago.
• All are tiny islands of coral origin (Atoll) and are surrounded by fringing reefs. Hence, statement 2 is correct.
• Pitti island, which is uninhabited, has a bird sanctuary.

Hence both statements 2&3 are correct.
