Explanation
Statement 1 is correct: the Vibrant Villages Programme, launched in 2023 for border villages, aims at the comprehensive development of identified villages on the northern border — improving infrastructure, livelihood opportunities and quality of life to stem out-migration. Statement 2 is also correct: the programme's activities expressly include the organisation of fairs, festivals, awareness campaigns and sports meets in these villages (the Home Ministry reported thousands of such activities conducted under the programme in 2023-24).
