Explanation:

Forest Rights Act, 2006 recognizes the forest rights in Forest land for Forest Dwelling Scheduled Tribes (FDST) and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (OTFD) who have been residing in such forests for generations.

Forest rights can also be claimed by any member or community who has for at least three generations (75 years) prior to the 13th day of December, 2005 (cut off date) primarily resided in forest land for bona fide livelihood needs.
The Gram Sabha is the authority to initiate the process for determining the nature and extent of Individual Forest Rights (IFR) or Community Forest Rights (CFR) or both that may be given to FDST and OTFD.

Hence only statement 2nd is correct.
