💡 Analysis & Explanation
Subject ▼
Economy.
Context ▼
National Health Strategies.
Details ▼
Statement 1 is incorrect; the strategy provides prophylactic Iron and Folic Acid (IFA) supplementation, not calcium. Statements 2, 3, and 4 are correct as the scheme explicitly advocates delayed umbilical cord clamping to boost infant iron stores, bi-annual deworming using Albendazole, and tackling non-nutritional causes of anemia like malaria and fluorosis in endemic areas. Thus, three statements are correct.
