Anaemia Mukt Bharat, the intensified national iron plus initiative, follows a framework described as the '6X6X6 strategy'. In this framework, the three sixes refer respectively to:

• A 6 tablets, 6 weeks, 6 months
• B 6 months of therapy, 6 months of follow up, 6 months of review
• C 6 states, 6 districts, 6 blocks
• D 6 beneficiary groups, 6 interventions, 6 institutional mechanisms ✓

Explanation

The 6X6X6 framework of Anaemia Mukt Bharat comprises 6 target beneficiary groups (children 6 to 59 months, 5 to 9 years, 10 to 19 years, pregnant women, lactating women, women of reproductive age), 6 interventions (prophylactic iron folic acid supplementation, deworming, testing and treatment, behaviour change communication, mandatory fortification, management of severe anaemia), and 6 institutional mechanisms for implementation and monitoring. Options C, B and A do not correspond to any component of this documented strategy.
