Explanation –

Statement 1 is incorrect. Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya is a university focused on the development of infrastructure and transportation in India. Its programs are centered around engineering, planning, and management of infrastructure projects. It subsumes the previously-existing National Rail and Transportation Institute (NRTI). It aims to create best in class manpower and talent for the entire transportation and logistics sectors. GSV is a “first of its kind” university aiming to fulfill the mandate of the National Developmental Plans (PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan 2021 and National Logistics Policy 2022) across railways, shipping, ports, highways, roads, waterways and aviation etc.

Statement 2 is correct. Disaster management has been included in the training programs for railway officers. According to recent reports, disaster management has become an integral part of railway officers training, included in both induction courses and mid-career training programs. This move aims to enhance the safety and preparedness of railway personnel in responding to emergency situations. The training includes topics such as disaster risk assessment, emergency preparedness, and crisis management.
