The Goitre Control Programme 1962 was based on :

Goitre is caused mainly by iodine deficiency. The National Goitre Control Programme of 1962 aimed to supply iodized salt to the goitre-endemic areas; it was renamed the National Iodine Deficiency Disorders Control Programme in 1992, with the goal of universal salt iodization.
No vaccine prevents goitre. Vitamin A supplementation prevents night blindness, and a protein-energy diet addresses malnutrition, neither of which controls iodine deficiency.
