Answer: Statements that the week ran from 1–8 March 2022 and that the Ministry launched the 'Stree Manoraksha Project' during this week are correct; the enrollment initiative mentioned was not launched as part of this week.

Statement (b): The Ministry launched the 'Stree Manoraksha Project' during the week — this is true.
Statement (c): The 'Kanya Shiksha Pravesh Utsav' was not launched as part of the International Women’s Day-Week for enrolling girls aged 6–10, so this statement is false.
