Consider the following statements regarding ‘Mission Madhuhari’ in Rajasthan —…

Concept

A government mission is pinned down by two independent identifiers: the exact disease it is set up to address, and the set of institutions under whose joint aegis it runs. In a two-statement item each statement must be tested separately against those identifiers, and a single substituted detail — a disease sub-type, or a partner organisation's name — makes that entire statement false even when everything else in it is accurate.

Application

1. Target disease. Mission Madhuhari (मिशन मधुहारी) was launched in Rajasthan on 12 August 2024 for children living with Type-1 diabetes, an auto-immune condition that most often first appears in childhood, and dedicated Madhuhari clinics were opened in district hospitals to treat them. Statement A names Type-1 diabetes, which is exactly the mission's stated target, so statement A is correct.

2. Implementing partnership. The mission runs under the joint aegis of the Rajasthan Medical and Health Department, the National Health Mission and the Clinton Foundation. Statement B reproduces the first two partners correctly but substitutes the Ford Foundation for the Clinton Foundation, so statement B is incorrect.

3. One true statement and one false statement therefore leave exactly one reading standing: only statement A is correct.

Cross-check

• Reading both statements as correct would need the Ford Foundation to be a partner, but the third partner named at the 12 August 2024 launch was the Clinton Foundation.

• Reading both statements as incorrect would need the mission to target something other than Type-1 diabetes, yet its clinics were opened specifically for children with Type-1 diabetes.

• Reading only statement B as correct inverts both findings at once: it rejects the Type-1 target that is right and accepts the Ford Foundation that is not.

Hence the correct reading is: only statement A is correct.
