India Crosses 80 Lakh HPV Vaccine Doses in Cancer Drive

The correct answer is more than 80 lakh, which the Ministry also writes as over 8 million doses. The figure covers the whole campaign since its launch in February 2026 and was announced as a milestone in the prevention of cervical cancer. Option A is wrong because that is the number of adolescent girls vaccinated in Uttar Pradesh alone, the highest for any single state. Option C is wrong because that is the size of the annual cohort of girls aged 14, taken from the Registrar General of India's estimates, and not the number of doses given. Option D is wrong because it misreads the crore and lakh scales and is far above anything in the release. This kind of question is best answered by keeping the national total, the leading state's figure and the annual cohort separate, since all three appear in the same release and are easy to interchange under time pressure.

The correct answer is Karnataka. The Ministry places that state in a different band, saying it has achieved more than 85 per cent coverage of its identified target population rather than complete coverage. The four states listed as having reached full coverage are Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Mizoram, so options A, B and D are all wrong for this question. The release also notes a third band, with Bihar, Andhra Pradesh and Assam crossing 90 per cent, and a fourth with Chhattisgarh, Sikkim, Kerala, Telangana and Odisha crossing 60 per cent. Questions framed in the negative reward candidates who have learnt the bands as groups rather than as a single list of names. Fix the four full-coverage states first, then the three above ninety, and the rest follow easily.

The correct answer is U-WIN. The release says the campaign has leveraged India's digital health infrastructure through this platform, which allows programme managers to monitor vaccination coverage at the district level, identify coverage gaps and missed beneficiaries, and plan the programme and its resources better. Option A is wrong, and it is the most attractive distractor because the name is similar and belongs to the platform associated with an earlier vaccination drive; the release names only the newer platform. Option C is wrong because that service is associated with teleconsultation and is not mentioned here. Option D is wrong for the same reason, as no health account or identifier of that kind appears in the account of the campaign. Along with the platform, remember the safety arrangement: sessions under trained Medical Officers, with facilities linked to round-the-clock care for rare adverse events.
