💡 Analysis & Explanation

Economy.
Context ▼
Governance in Public Health.
Details ▼
Both statements are factually correct. Statement I highlights a historical flaw in India's health policy, which traditionally leaned heavily towards curative medicine rather than holistic preventive care. Statement II notes that Public Health is a State subject in India. However, the decentralized structure (State responsibility) is not the direct, logical cause of the system's curative focus. Thus, Statement II does not explain Statement I.
