Consider the following statements: 1. Vigyan rail is a science exhibition on wheels organized by the Council Scientific and industrial Research. 2. Vigyan Prasar is an autonomous body under the Ministry of Human Resource Development. 3. EDUSAT, the ISRO’s educational satellite was launched from French Guyana 2004. Which of the above statements are true?

All three statements are incorrect. Vigyan Rail is a year‑long science exhibition on wheels run as a joint initiative led by Vigyan Prasar (DST) and the Ministry of Railways, not CSIR, as described in the official release about the flagging off of Vigyan Rail [1]. Vigyan Prasar itself was established in 1989 as an autonomous organisation under the Department of Science and Technology (DST), not under the Ministry of Human Resource Development. EDUSAT (GSAT‑3) was India’s dedicated educational satellite launched by ISRO on 20 September 2004 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, via GSLV — not from Kourou, French Guiana [2]. Hence, none of the statements is true.
