The first statement is incorrect. The All India Women's Conference (AIWC) was indeed founded in 1927, but it was founded by Margaret Cousins and Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay in Pune (Poona), not by Maharani Chimnabai Gaekwad. Therefore, statement 1 is incorrect.
The AIWC worked for the improvement of education and the prevention of child marriage not only among Hindu upper-class society but among women from all communities and classes. Therefore, statement 2 is correct.
The AIWC has maintained its independent status and has not been merged with the Indian National Congress. Therefore, statement 3 is incorrect
