Answer: (3) 1 and 3

Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct: The Ease of Living Index (EoLI) is released by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), Government of India, to assess and rank cities on quality of life indicators. Statement 2 is incorrect: The Ease of Living Index was first released in 2018 (for the 2017-18 assessment cycle) — not in August 2019. The 2019 edition was the second iteration. Statement 3 is correct: The Citizen Perception Survey (Citizen Participation) is a crucial component of the EoLI, carrying 30% weightage in the overall assessment, capturing residents' satisfaction with urban services. Statement 4 is incorrect: The EoLI captures quality of life based on data collected on 4 pillars — Governance, Social, Economic, and Physical infrastructure (comprising 50+ indicators) — not 6 parameters. Hence statements 1 and 3 are correct.
