Diarrhoeal Disease Control Programme was started in which year?

  • A.1955
  • B.1968
  • C.1970
  • D.1978

Answer: D

The Diarrhoeal Disease Control Programme began in 1978.

India's Diarrhoeal Disease Control Programme was started in 1978, following the WHO's global programme of the same year. Its main strategy was to prevent deaths from dehydration in children under five through oral rehydration therapy (ORS), along with continued feeding and health education.

1955 and 1968 are too early: ORS had not yet been proved effective then. 1970 also predates the programme.
