With reference to 'Changpa' community of India, consider the following statements : 1. They live mainly in the State of Uttarakhand. 2. They rear the Pashmina goats that yield a fine wool. 3. They are kept in the category of Scheduled Tribes. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Statements 2 and 3 are correct because the Changpa are a semi-nomadic community in the Ladakh region known for rearing the Changthangi (Pashmina) goat and are officially recognized as a Scheduled Tribe. Statement 1 is incorrect because the Changpa primarily inhabit the high-altitude Changthang plateau in Ladakh, not Uttarakhand, which makes options (a) and (d) the most common incorrect choices. This question tests the core concept of the geographical distribution and socio-economic characteristics of major tribal communities in India.
