Explanation
- A
1 and 2 only
(a) 1 and 2 only. The National Nutrition Mission (ICDS window of that period) focused on awareness among pregnant and lactating women and on cutting anaemia in children, adolescent girls and women. Millets and eggs were not listed as those core objectives. This is the official key.
- B
1, 2 and 3 only
(b) 1, 2 and 3 only. Promoting millets and unpolished rice was not a stated objective of that Mission in the form asked. Not the key.
- C
1, 2 and 4 only
(c) 1, 2 and 4 only. Poultry-egg promotion was not a listed Mission objective here. Not the key.
- D
3 and 4 only
(d) 3 and 4 only. Those two food-promotion lines are the distractors, not the Mission’s stated pair.
Summary. Official key is (a) 1 and 2 only. National Nutrition Mission work in the ICDS/MWCD frame aimed to spread malnutrition awareness among pregnant and lactating mothers and to reduce anaemia among young children, adolescent girls and women. A general millet or egg-consumption campaign is not what the question’s objective list recorded. POSHAN Abhiyaan (2018) is the later, wider brand. Honour 1 and 2 only.
