- A.Telangana, 21 parameters
- B.Andhra Pradesh, 41 parameters
- C.Odisha, 31 parameters
- D.Karnataka, 51 parameters
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Andhra Pradesh, 41 parameters. Speaking at the inauguration of the new health facilities in the state, the Union Health Minister praised the Sanjeevani programme for carrying healthcare to people's doorsteps and making testing available for this many health parameters. He appreciated the state's approach of bringing screening closer to communities, said such initiatives are valuable models for strengthening primary healthcare, and expressed interest in examining whether the model could be replicated at the national level. Options A, C and D pair a neighbouring state with a different count of parameters, and each is plausible enough to catch a candidate who remembers the name of the programme but not the state or the number. The safe way to hold this fact is to attach Sanjeevani to Andhra Pradesh, the same state where the Critical Care Blocks and laboratories were opened on the same day.
