{'state insurance': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'esi scheme': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'esi scheme being contributory': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'esi': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'employees': [1, 0, 5, 5], 'establishments': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'union territories': [1, 0, 1, 1], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

The correct option is option 3, which states that statements 2 and 3 are correct.

Statement 1 is incorrect because the ESI Act, 1948 is applicable to non-seasonal factories using power and employing 10 or more persons, not 20 or more persons.

Statement 2 is correct. The ESI Scheme has already been implemented in different areas in all the States/Union Territories of India. This means that the scheme is available and applicable across the country.

Statement 3 is correct. The ESI Scheme is a contributory scheme, which means that all the employees in the factories or establishments to which the Act applies shall be insured. This ensures that all eligible employees are covered under the scheme.

To summarize, option 3 is the correct answer as statements 2 and 3 are both correct.
