UPSC 2023: Consider the following statements in the context of interventions being undertaken under Anaemia Mukt Bharat Strategy: 1. It provides prophylactic calcium supplementation for pre-school children, adolescents and pregnant women. 2. It runs a campaign for delayed cord clamping at the time of child-birth. 3. It provides for periodic deworming to children and adolescents. 4. It addresses non-nutritional causes of anaemia in endemic pockets with special focus on malaria, hemoglobinopathies and fluorosis. How many of the statements given above are correct?

POSHAN Abhiyaan targets the entire life-cycle—pre-school children, adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women—and provides supplementary nutrition through Anganwadis (Stmt 1). It runs IEC campaigns such as early and exclusive breastfeeding promotion (Stmt 2) and uses the POSHAN Tracker for monthly growth monitoring of children (Stmt 3). Scheme documents list stunting, wasting, under-nutrition, low birth weight and anaemia as priority conditions; local guidelines for obesity or haemoglobinopathies are not part of its mandate, making Statement 4 incorrect. Thus three statements are correct. ([womenchild.maharashtra.gov.in](https://www.womenchild.maharashtra.gov.in/en/poshan-abhiyaan?utm_source=openai))
