Which one among the following is NOT covered under Integrated Child Development Programme?

A Supplementary Nutrition
B Immunization
C Nutrition and Health Education
D Family Planning

Correct answer: (d) Family Planning

Explanation

  1. A

    Supplementary Nutrition

    (a) Supplementary Nutrition. SNP at Anganwadi is a core ICDS service. It is covered, so not the ‘NOT covered’ answer.

  2. B

    Immunization

    (b) Immunization. Immunization is an ICDS package item with Health Department. It is covered.

  3. C

    Nutrition and Health Education

    (c) Nutrition and Health Education. NHED for women is an ICDS component. It is covered.

  4. D

    Family Planning

    (d) Family Planning. ICDS (1975) packages supplementary nutrition, immunization, health check-up, referral, pre-school education and nutrition-health education. Family planning is not that package. Official key.

Summary. Official key is (d) Family Planning. Integrated Child Development Services is a six-service Anganwadi scheme for children under six, pregnant and lactating women. Family planning belongs to the health/family-welfare line, not ICDS. (a)–(c) are inside the package; (d) is the outsider.
