Consider the following statements in the context of interventions being undertaken under Anaemia Mukt Bharat Strategy : 1. It provides prophylactic calcium supplementation for pre-school children, adolescents and pregnant women. 2. It runs a campaign for delayed cord clamping at the time of child-birth. 3. It provides for periodic deworming to children and adolescents. 4. It addresses non-nutritional causes of anaemia in endemic pockets with special focus on malaria, hemoglobinopathies and fluorosis. How many of the statements given above are correct?
A
Only one
B
Only two
C
Only three
Correct Answer
D
All four
Explanation
Statements 2, 3, and 4 are correct as the Anaemia Mukt Bharat (AMB) strategy specifically includes delayed cord clamping for newborns, periodic deworming, and addressing non-nutritional causes like malaria and hemoglobinopathies. Statement 1 is incorrect because the strategy provides prophylactic **Iron and Folic Acid (IFA)** supplementation, rather than calcium, to the target age groups. The core concept being tested is the **6x6x6 framework** of the AMB, which details the specific interventions and beneficiary groups designed to reduce anaemia prevalence across India.
