Under the Mission Indradhanush (intensified) programme, the 'Hariyali' districts concept targets districts where immunization coverage is below:

  • A 50%
  • B 60%
  • C 80%
  • D 70%
Correct answer: D. 70%

Explanation

Mission Indradhanush specifically targets districts and urban areas where immunization coverage is below 70% — these 'low-performing' areas receive intensive campaigns to rapidly increase coverage toward the universal target. The programme uses a 'catch-up' approach with special sessions in hard-to-reach populations. Coverage above 90% is the ultimate target per NHP 2017.
