Both

None

Only statement 1st is correct.

Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups(PVTGs)

In India, tribal population makes up for 8.6% of the total population.
PVTGs are more vulnerable among the tribal groups. Due to this factor, more developed and assertive tribal groups take a major chunk of the tribal development funds because of which PVTGs need more funds directed for their development.
In 1973, the Dhebar Commission created Primitive Tribal Groups (PTGs) as a separate category, who are less developed among the tribal groups. In 2006, the Government of India renamed the PTGs as PVTGs.
Among the 75 listed PVTG’s the highest number are found in Odisha.

Hence option 1st is correct.
