In which district did the All India Institute of Ayurveda conduct its community-based Ayurveda programme for elderly people?
- A.Gurugram, Haryana
- B.Faridabad, Haryana
- C.Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh
- D.Gautam Buddh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Faridabad, Haryana. The project was titled "Community-Based Ayurveda Intervention for Promotion of Physical and Mental Health in Elderly Population of Faridabad District, Haryana State", and under the institute’s Public Health Initiative it screened 5,594 people in the sixty to eighty year age group there over three months. Option A, Gurugram, is wrong, although it too is a district of Haryana adjoining the national capital, which makes it the most plausible distractor. Options C and D name Ghaziabad and Gautam Buddh Nagar, both districts of Uttar Pradesh in the same urban region; neither is where the programme was run. Candidates should tie the three details together, since questions on a study of this kind usually ask for one of them: the institute, which is the All India Institute of Ayurveda in New Delhi, the district, which is Faridabad, and the State, which is Haryana.
