Incorrect : . The identification of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) did not start with the Xaxa Committee. It dates back to the 1970s when the Government of India initiated the identification of the most vulnerable tribal groups as a separate category called "Primitive Tribal Groups (PTGs)". This category was renamed as PVTGs in 2006. The Xaxa Committee was constituted in 2013 to look into the socio-economic, educational & health status of tribal communities in India.
correct : The criteria for identification of PVTGs indeed include factors such as a pre-agriculture level of technology, a declining or stagnant population, extremely low literacy, and a subsistence mode of economy.
correct : : Kathodi, Jarawas, and Koraga are indeed identified as PVTGs.
Thus, the correct statements are 2 and 3.
