Discussion
Which vulnerable groups are identified for the control of micronutrient deficiencies in the National Nutrition Policy adopted by the Government of India in 1993?
Answer: D
The vulnerable groups are nursing mothers, pregnant women and children.
The National Nutrition Policy of 1993 identified children (especially under six), adolescent girls, pregnant women and nursing mothers as the groups most vulnerable to undernutrition, and called for programmes to control deficiencies of vitamin A, iron and iodine among them.
The other options name only part of these groups, or name the male child alone, which the policy did not single out. The option listing nursing mothers, pregnant women and children is the most complete.
