Answer: Anaemia
Notes: The Mission Utkarsh initiative, collaboration between the Ministries of Ayush and Women and Child Development, aims to combat anaemia. Launched in five aspirational districts initially, it focuses on elevating districts below national averages. The pilot phase targets improving anaemic status in adolescent girls (14-18 years) across states like Assam, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan. Approximately 10,000 Anganwadi Centres in these districts will cover 95,000 girls, utilizing Ayush systems for a cost-effective and evidence-backed approach.
