Which of the following are the objectives of 'National Nutrition Mission' ? 1. To create awareness relating to malnutrition among pregnant women and lactating mothers. 2. To reduce the incidence of anaemia among young children, adolescent girls and women. 3. To promote the consumption of millets, coarse cereals and unpolished rice. 4. To promote the consumption of poultry eggs. Select the correct answer using the code given below :

Lists pregnant women and lactating mothers as a targeted beneficiary group for nutrition-related entitlements (free meals, cash transfers), implying programmes focused on maternal nutrition.

A student could infer that a national nutrition mission targeting maternal groups plausibly includes awareness components and verify by checking Poshan Abhiyaan objectives or scheme documents.

Explains that pregnant and nursing mothers form an important segment of the food-insecure/malnourished population, which is a typical rationale for including them in awareness and intervention programmes.

Use this rationale to argue why a national nutrition mission would likely have awareness activities for these groups and then check Poshan Abhiyaan materials for explicit mention.

Shows statutory recognition (under NFSA examples) of special entitlements for pregnant and lactating mothers (take-home rations), indicating policy emphasis on maternal nutrition.

Combine the existence of maternal-targeted entitlements with common programme design (education/awareness components) to suspect Poshan includes awareness; then verify against Poshan objectives.

Provides an explicit example of a central government campaign (Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan) whose stated method is to 'spread awareness' to specific groups, showing that Indian national missions commonly use awareness as an objective.

Generalize that central missions addressing public-health/social issues often include awareness drives, making it reasonable to check whether Poshan follows the same pattern for pregnant/lactating women.

Mentions Anganwadi in the context of gender-targeted schemes in the gender budget, linking maternal/child nutrition delivery platforms to centrally funded programmes.

A student could infer that since Anganwadis are central to maternal/child nutrition, Poshan's objectives might include awareness delivered via Anganwadis; verify by consulting Poshan program details.

This snippet records an explicit government objective (in a planning context) to reduce anaemia among girls and women by 50%, showing anaemia reduction is a recognised policy target.

A student could note that a major national nutrition mission launched later would plausibly include anaemia reduction and therefore check Poshan Abhiyaan's official objectives for that element.

It states a high prevalence of anaemia among adolescent girls and highlights adolescents' special nutrition needs, indicating the population groups of concern.

Combine this with knowledge that Poshan Abhiyaan targets vulnerable age-groups (children, adolescents, women) to infer checking whether anaemia is specified as an objective.

This snippet links adolescent iron/B12 deficiency to government schemes and explicitly asks to 'find out about government schemes aimed to prevent such deficiencies', implying government nutrition programmes address micronutrient deficiencies.

A student could use this pattern (govt schemes targeting iron deficiency) to hypothesize Poshan Abhiyaan likely includes anaemia/micronutrient components and verify official mission text.

Lists nutrition-related programmes (Anganwadi, PM POSHAN) in the gender budget, showing the government uses centrally run nutrition schemes for women and children.

Knowing Poshan Abhiyaan coordinates nutrition interventions, a student could infer it may incorporate objectives (like anaemia reduction) that these schemes also target and then check Poshan Abhiyaan documents.

Describes PM POSHAN's twin purposes to improve child nutrition (calorie/protein intake) and school enrolment, demonstrating government focus on child nutrition programmes.

Given Poshan Abhiyaan is a flagship nutrition mission, a student could extend this by checking whether such flagship programmes explicitly add micronutrient/anaemia reduction for children and adolescent girls.
