The National Nutrition Mission (now POSHAN Abhiyaan) aims to (i) spread awareness on malnutrition among pregnant and lactating women and (ii) cut anaemia in children, adolescent girls and women. Its official framework does not list promotion of millets/coarse cereals or poultry-egg consumption as mission objectives. Hence only statements 1 and 2 are correct.
