Consider the following statements : I. Indian Railways have prepared a National Rail Plan (NRP) to create a 'future ready' railway system by 2028. II. 'Kavach' is an Automatic Train Protection system developed in collaboration with Germany. III. 'Kavach' system consists of RFID tags fitted on track in station section. Which of the statements given above are not correct?

A
I and II only
Correct Answer
B
II and III only
C
I and III only
D
I, II and III

Explanation

Option (A) is correct because Statement I is false as the National Rail Plan (NRP) aims for a 'future ready' system by 2030 (not 2028), and Statement II is false because Kavach is an indigenously developed system by RDSO, not a collaboration with Germany. Option (D) is the most tempting wrong choice, but it is incorrect because Statement III accurately describes the use of RFID tags in the Kavach architecture, making it a "correct" statement that must be excluded from the "not correct" list. The core concept being tested is the strategic infrastructure targets and indigenous technological advancements in Indian Railways' safety and modernization programs.
