{'nandan nilekani': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'cabinet minister': [0, 0, 2, 2], 'infosys technologies limited': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'planning commission': [5, 0, 9, 5], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'cultural reforms': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

The correct answer is option 3: "Recently he is appointed as the Member of the Planning Commission of India."

Option 1 states that Nandan Nilekani is the co-founder of Infosys Technologies Limited. This statement is correct. Nandan Nilekani was indeed one of the co-founders of Infosys, a well-known Indian multinational corporation that provides business consulting, technology, and outsourcing services.

Option 2 states that Nandan Nilekani wrote a book titled "Imagining India" in which he passionately called for governmental and cultural reforms. This statement is also accurate. Nilekani did write a book with the same title, where he discussed his vision for the future of India and proposed reforms in various areas.

Option 4 states that Nandan Nilekani was given the rank of Cabinet Minister in July 2009. This statement is true. In July 2009, Nilekani was appointed as the Chairperson of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), with the rank of a Cabinet Minister.

Therefore, option 3 is the incorrect statement. Nandan Nilekani was not appointed as a member of the Planning Commission of India.
