Question

UnlockIAS · Accepted Answer

Correct — C, Dhar. Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the nationwide 'Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar Abhiyan' — a women's health campaign — from Dhar in Madhya Pradesh on 17 September 2025, the day the fortnight-long Seva Pakhwada began. On the same Dhar visit he laid the foundation stone of the PM MITRA mega textile park at Bhainsola, which is why the district was in the news twice over that day.

Why the other options are wrong — (a) The state capital is the default guess for any MP launch, but this campaign was launched from Dhar, not Bhopal.  (b) Indore is MP's commercial capital and repeated Swachh Survekshan topper; it was not the venue for this campaign's launch.  (d) Ujjain is associated with the Mahakal Lok corridor the Prime Minister inaugurated in October 2022 — a different event and a different year.

Concept: 'Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar Abhiyan' (Healthy Woman, Empowered Family) is a nationwide women's health campaign led by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare with the Ministry of Women and Child Development. It runs health check-up camps for women and adolescent girls at Ayushman Arogya Mandirs and other health facilities, with screening for anaemia, non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, and the common cancers, alongside nutrition and awareness activity. Its premise is preventive: a woman's health status shapes the health of the whole household.
