Discussion
The_______programme provides _______ support to pregnant woman, lactating mother, preschool children and adolescent girl.
Answer: B
The answer is ICDS, Nutritional.
The Integrated Child Development Services scheme, begun in 1975 and run through anganwadi centres, provides supplementary nutrition to pregnant women, lactating mothers, children under six (including preschool children) and adolescent girls. It also offers immunisation, health check-ups, referral, preschool education and nutrition education.
The Mid-day meal scheme feeds schoolchildren and gives no financial support to mothers. The Balwadi nutrition programme covers only children aged three to six, and 'moral' and 'mental' support are not what any of these feeding programmes provide.
