Context: Recently, the Ministry of Culture launched Project PARI (Public Art of India) on the occasion of the 46th World Heritage Committee Meeting.

Statement 1 is not correct: Project PARI stands for Public Art of India. Its primary objective is to revitalize public spaces through art and showcase India's diverse regional art forms, such as Phad, Thangka, Gond, and Warli. It does not focus on the preservation of ancient manuscripts or the promotion of traditional texts.

Statement 2 is correct: Project PARI is executed by the Lalit Kala Akademi and the National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA), both under the Ministry of Culture. The Sahitya Akademi, which focuses on literature, is not involved in this project. The proposed sculptures being created for Project PARI include wide ranging ideas that include but are not limited to paying tributes to nature, ideas inspired by the Natyashastra, Gandhi ji, toys of India, hospitality, ancient knowledge, Naad or Primeval Soun, Harmony of life, Kalpataru &ndash; the divine tree etc.

Statement 3 is correct: Women artists have been an integral part of Project PARI and their participation in large numbers is a testimony of Bharat&rsquo;s NARI SHAKTI.
