Solution

The correct option is C Reproductive and Child Health
India initiated action plans and programmes to attain total reproductive health. Such programmes are called ‘family planning’.

Some new programmes covering wider reproduction-related areas are currently in operation under the name of ‘Reproductive and Child Health (RCH) programme’.

This helps in creating awareness among people about various reproduction related aspects and providing facilities and support for building up a reproductively healthy society.

The programme plans for service, delivery and identification of beneficiaries due for post natal check-ups and immunization services. Also, it identifies high-risk pregnant women, tracks their health conditions and assists during the delivery.

The programme thus aims at reducing the maternal mortality rate (MMR) and infant mortality rate (IMR) in India.
