Nanha Sa Dil, whose milestones were marked at the same event, addresses which health problem in children?

  1. A.Thalassemia
  2. B.Congenital heart defects
  3. C.Childhood tuberculosis
  4. D.Severe acute malnutrition

Correct answer

B. Congenital heart defects

Explanation

The correct answer is congenital heart defects. Nanha Sa Dil is run by Coal India Limited with the Sri Sathya Sai Health and Education Trust, began in four districts of Jharkhand in March 2024, and has completed more than 1,500 corrective surgeries that are free for the family, including the cost of travel and hospital stay. Option A is wrong, but only because it belongs to the other scheme celebrated at the same event: the Thalassemia Bal Sewa Yojana treats thalassemia and aplastic anaemia through bone marrow transplants, of which more than 1,050 are complete. Option C is wrong as childhood tuberculosis is handled through the national tuberculosis programme and not through this initiative. Option D is wrong because severe acute malnutrition is addressed through nutrition programmes and anganwadi services. Keep the two Coal India schemes and their diseases paired correctly.
