With reference to the 'HAUSLA- 2018' which of the following statement(s) is/are correct? 1) ‘HAUSLA – 2018' was organised by the Ministry of Women and Child Development, Government of India in New Deihl. 2) It was National Festival for Children of Child Care Institution. Select the correct answer from the codes given below.

Both statements are correct, so the answer is C. HAUSLA-2018 was a national festival for children living in Child Care Institutions (CCIs), organised by the Ministry of Women and Child Development and held in New Delhi in November 2018, around Children's Day. The stated aim was to give these children a platform for talent, creativity and confidence, and to reduce the gap between them and other children.

Why each statement holds:

• Statement 1 is correct: the Ministry of Women and Child Development organised it, and the venue was New Delhi. The spelling 'Deihl' in the question is just a typo.
• Statement 2 is correct: the event was specifically meant for children in CCIs, which are institutions under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, including shelter homes and children's homes.

The core concept is institutional child care and the state's duty to children without family support under the JJ Act, 2015. For Mains, this connects to child protection, Article 39(f) and the welfare schemes run by the WCD ministry.

Trap: aspirants often mistake HAUSLA for a sports or youth-ministry event, or drop statement 1 because the venue spelling looks wrong. Read the question for the organising ministry and the target group, not just the name.
