Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct answer: Vaccination drive (टीकाकरण अभियान). What Mission Indradhanush is: Launch and purpose: Launched by the Government of India (Ministry of Health and Family Welfare) in December 2014 to strengthen immunization and reach unvaccinated and under‑vaccinated children and pregnant women.
Target groups: Primarily children (especially those under two years of age) and pregnant women who need routine vaccines.
Key strategies: Strengthen routine immunization services, conduct special vaccination sessions for missed children, track and monitor coverage, and ensure inter‑sectoral coordination.
Intensified phases: The programme was later intensified (e.g., Intensified Mission Indradhanush) to accelerate coverage in high‑priority areas.
Why it matters: Prevents vaccine‑preventable diseases, reduces child morbidity and mortality, and strengthens the routine immunization system.
Therefore, the option describing a vaccination drive is the correct choice because it matches the objective and activities of Mission Indradhanush.
