UGC NTA NET/JRF Exam, Social Work, June-2025

A. Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) → IV. 1975: Launched on 2 October 1975, ICDS is India's flagship earlychildhood programme delivering a package of supplementary nutrition, immunisation, health check-ups, referral, and preschool education to children (0-6 years) and to pregnant/lactating women through Anganwadi centres. The 1975 start year anchors it to IV.

B. Wheat-based Supplementary Nutrition Programme (WBNP) → III. 1986: The Wheat-based Nutrition Programme was introduced in 1986 as a centrally sponsored food-grain support to States/UTs specifically for the Supplementary Nutrition Programme under ICDS, ensuring regular wheat (and later other grains) supply for take-home rations/hot cooked meals. Hence it pairs with 1986 (III).

C. Prophylaxis Programme → II. 1970: "Prophylaxis Programme" here denotes the early national nutrition deficiency-prevention initiatives launched in 1970, notably the National Nutritional Anaemia Prophylaxis Programme (NNAPP) and the Vitamin-A Prophylaxis Programme (against nutritional blindness). Therefore, 1970 (II) is the correct match.

D. National Diarrhoeal Diseases Control Programme (NDDCPР) → І. 1981: Started in 1981, NDDCP focused on reducing diarrhoeal morbidity and mortality-popularising Oral Rehydration Therapy (ORT), preventive IEC, and case management protocols; later it interfaced with child-survival initiatives. Hence 1981 (1).

The Kishori Shakti Yojana (KSY), under the ICDS scheme, focuses on adolescent girls' development.

It provides vocational training (A) for self-reliance, health education (B) to promote awareness of nutrition and hygiene, and nutritional support (D) to combat malnutrition. Legal support for girls in distress (C) is not part of KSY.

The Directive Principles of State Policy (Part IV) include:
A. Equal justice and free legal aid (Art. 39A) - directs the state to ensure access
to justice.
B. Organisation of village panchayats (Art. 40) - promotes self-governance at the village level.
D. Living wage (Art. 43) - seeks a living wage and decent working conditions for workers.
C. Equality of opportunity in public employment (Art. 16) is a Fundamental Right, not a DPSP.

• Article 50 (A) - Separation of judiciary and executive - Correct DPSP.
• Article 48 (B) - Organisation of agriculture and animal husbandry, preservation of breeds/ prohibition of slaughter - Correct DPSP.
• Article 42 (C) - Actually deals with just and humane conditions of work and maternity relief, not village panchayats-Incorrect.
• Article 56 (D) - Relates to President's tenure, not health or intoxicants-Incorrect.
Hence, C and D are not correct DPSPs

B. Right not to be arrested after sunsetand before sunrise - Sec. 46(4) → IV.

The National Health Policy, 2017 is grounded in key principles that guide India's health system reform:

D. Affordability: Keeping costs reasonable for both providers and recipients to prevent financial distress.
C. Centralization of decision-making contradicts the policy's emphasis on decentralization and participatory governance, so it is not a guiding principle.
