Explanation:

Recently, the Ministry of Electronics & IT (MeitY) has announced #FOSS4GOV Innovation Challenge to accelerate adoption of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in Government.

A Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) may also be referred to as Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) or Free/Open Source Software (F/OSS).
It doesn’t mean software is free of cost.
The term “free” indicates that the software does not have constraints on copyrights.
It allows other people also to contribute to the development and improvement of the software like a community.
India’s largest-government projects (including Aadhaar) and many technology start-ups have also been built using FOSS.

Hence only statements 2&3 are correct.
