Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Statement (A)
"It is started to prevent Type-I Diabetes."
Mission Madhuri (also referred to as Mission Madhuhaari/Madhuhari in some government and current affairs sources) is Rajasthan's dedicated initiative for Type-1 Diabetes care and management. The program focuses on identification, treatment, counseling, insulin support, and awareness for patients suffering from Type-1 Diabetes.
Therefore, Statement (A) is considered correct in the context of Rajasthan GK, as the mission specifically targets Type-1 Diabetes.
Statement (B)
"This program is started under the joint aegis of the Medical and Health Department, National Health Mission and Ford Foundation."
Mission Madhuri was launched under the National Health Mission (NHM) and Rajasthan's Medical & Health Department, and Rajasthan government communications regarding the programme have also mentioned collaboration/support from the Ford Foundation. Therefore Statement (B) is also treated as correct in Rajasthan current affairs references.
Hence, both statements are correct.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option C.
