| What is included in the expanded 7X7X7 strategy under Anemia Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan? | the following: Inclusion of 0–6 months Low Birth Weight (LBW) babies for timely anemia detection, risk mitigation and continuum of care from birth | The restructured AMB Abhiyaan consists of the following interventions: 2.1 Shift from existing 6X6X6 strategy to 7X7X7 strategy The existing 6x6x6 strategy is expanded to a 7x7x7 framework under Anemia Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan to strengthen preventive, promotive, and outcome-oriented approaches across lifecycle for anemia reduction. The addition are the following: Inclusion of 0–6 months Low Birth Weight (LBW) babies for timely anemia detection, risk mitigation and continuum of care from birth. Addressing anemia pre-emptively among LBW babies supports increase iron store and thereby contributes indirectly in reduction in Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) and improved early childhood outcomes. | 348 | definition | 1.000 | The addition are the following: Inclusion of 0–6 months Low Birth Weight (LBW) babies for timely anemia detection, risk mitigation and continuum of care from birth. | 37 | page=37,block=0 | 0.850 | valid |

| What role does iron play in the human body? | producing hemoglobin, which transports oxygen throughout the body | Prophylactic iron supplementation is crucial to build iron stores and maintain optimal health. Iron is essential for producing hemoglobin, which transports oxygen throughout the body. A proactive approach helps to prevent iron deficiency in the body before it can progress to anemia. It is a key public health intervention under Anemia Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan. It supports provision of IFA supplements to all groups of beneficiaries irrespective of anemia status as detailed out below along with counselling on eating right habits and inclusion of iron rich foods in their daily diet, which has been further discussed in Chapter 7 in detail. | 117 | definition | 1.000 | Iron is essential for producing hemoglobin, which transports oxygen throughout the body. | 47 | page=47,block=0 | 0.700 | valid |

| How are the different types of viral hepatitis classified? | as Hepatitis A, B, C, D and E based on causative viruses | The initiative facilitates timely detection, counselling, referral, and management of anemia, particularly among vulnerable populations. Hepatitis Viral Hepatitis is categorized as Hepatitis A, B, C, D and E based on causative viruses. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare implements National Viral Hepatitis Control Programme (NVHCP) which creates awareness, prevention, early diagnosis, and free treatment services across all levels of care, reducing morbidity and complications that can contribute to anemia. Under this programme, free screening and diagnosis services for Hepatitis are available at all public health facilities e.g. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), serum bilirubin levels. | 178 | definition | 1.000 | Hepatitis Viral Hepatitis is categorized as Hepatitis A, B, C, D and E based on causative viruses. | 86 | page=86,block=0 | 0.700 | valid |
| What type of diets provide high calories with minimal or no nutritional value? | Diets high in processed foods, calories, excessive salt sugar, and carbonated beverages | After birth, optimal breastfeeding practices provide infants with essential nutrients and protective factors that support growth, immunity and long-term health outcomes. As children grow, establishing healthy eating habits and consuming nutrient-rich foods become critical for physical growth, cognitive development and prevention of micronutrient deficiencies. Inadequate dietary intake of iron-rich food and poor nutrient bioavailability in foods is a major contributor to the persistently high burden of anemia in India. Eating Right through conscious practices as dietary diversity, improved cooking practices to enhance iron bioavailability is therefore a critical pillar of Anemia Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan. Diets high in processed foods, calories, excessive salt sugar, and carbonated beverages provide empty calories i.e. high calories with minimal or no nutritional value. | 709 | definition | 1.000 | Eating Right through conscious practices as dietary diversity, improved cooking practices to enhance iron bioavailability is therefore a critical pillar of Anemia Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan.

| What is represented by the tagline 'Khoon ki paryapt matra, swasth jeevan ki hain paribhasha'? | achieving optimal hemoglobin levels for self and every family member and unlocking full physical and cognitive potential | One of the tag lines for behaviour change embodied under this Jan Bhagidari is named “Khoon ki paryapt matra, swasth jeevan ki hain paribhasha” which represents achieving optimal hemoglobin levels for self and every family member and unlocking full physical and cognitive potential. It represents: ‣ Plan for health ‣ A marker of pride and performance ‣ A symbol of responsible healthy families and communities A step toward a healthier and more productive self-aware communities Other thematic frameworks include ‘I am Anemia free’, ‘varied colours on my plate’ which will change attitude as a Call to Action from normalization of anemic state to cognizance and mindful state of promoting screening of Hb value and self-awareness of maintaining appropriate hemoglobin level. These campaign position anemia-free status as aspirational and socially desirable. 8. | 161 | definition | 1.000 | One of the tag lines for behaviour change embodied under this Jan Bhagidari is named “Khoon ki paryapt matra, swasth jeevan ki hain paribhasha” which represents achieving optimal hemoglobin levels for self and every family member and unlocking full physical and cognitive potential. |
