Notes:

Explanation –

Statement 1 is correct. The Chief Commissioner of Persons with Disabilities (CCPD) is an officer in the government who is responsible for safeguarding the rights and interests of persons with disabilities. The CCPD works to ensure that persons with disabilities have access to the same opportunities and protections as everyone else.

Statement 2 is incorrect. While the CCPD advocates for disability-inclusive education, they do not directly provide educational opportunities or services. Providing educational opportunities to persons with disabilities is the responsibility of the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, which works in coordination with the CCPD.
