Under the Mission Indradhanush 4.0 (Intensified Mission Indradhanush), the focus is on immunizing children and pregnant women who are:
- A Unvaccinated or partially vaccinated individuals in hard-to-reach areas, urban slums, migration sites, and conflict areas ✓
- B Only those in high-burden states with low routine immunization coverage
- C Children under 2 years in all districts with <90% full immunization coverage
- D All children below 5 years and pregnant women regardless of prior vaccination status
Correct answer: A. Unvaccinated or partially vaccinated individuals in hard-to-reach areas, urban slums, migration sites, and conflict areas
Explanation
Mission Indradhanush (MI) targets unvaccinated and partially vaccinated children under 2 years and pregnant women specifically in hard-to-reach areas, urban slums, brick kilns, construction sites, nomadic areas, and migration sites — populations missed by routine immunization. IMI 4.0 (2021–22) was conducted in 416 districts. The programme supplements routine immunization and aims to reach children not captured by Anganwadi-based outreach.
