Anemia Mukt Bharat (AMB) strategy addresses anaemia across life stages using a 6×6×6 framework. Which of the following is NOT one of the 6 target beneficiary groups?

• A Children 6–59 months
• B Children 5–9 years
• C Adolescent boys 10–19 years
• D Adult men aged 20–45 years ✓

Explanation

AMB (2018) targets 6 beneficiary groups: children 6–59 months, children 5–9 years, adolescents 10–19 years (both boys and girls), women of reproductive age (15–49 years), pregnant women, and lactating women. Adult men 20–45 years are not a target group under AMB, as the programme focuses on the anaemia-vulnerable life stages primarily affecting women and children. Iron-Folic Acid supplementation, deworming, and nutrition education are the 6 interventions.
