Many LWE-affected districts are included in the Aspirational Districts Programme, which aims for rapid and inclusive development across key socio-economic indicators. Statement 3 is incorrect. While the central government provides a broad framework, the 'Surrender-cum-Rehabilitation Policy' allows for state-specific modifications and incentives to suit local conditions and encourage surrenders effectively.
