The correct answer is (a).
The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) was launched in 2005 by the Government of India. It is a centrally sponsored scheme aimed at improving the health of the rural population of India. The NRHM has four main objectives: to reduce maternal and child mortality, to improve access to healthcare, to improve the quality of healthcare, and to promote community participation in healthcare.
The NRHM has been successful in achieving some of its objectives. For example, the maternal mortality rate has declined by 60% since the launch of the NRHM. However, there are still many challenges that need to be addressed. For example, the infant mortality rate is still high, and there is a shortage of doctors and nurses in rural areas.
The NRHM is a work in progress, but it has made significant progress in improving the health of the rural population of India.
Option (b) is incorrect because the NRHM was launched in 2005, not 2004.
Option (c) is incorrect because the NRHM was launched in 2005, not 2005.
Option (d) is incorrect because the NRHM was launched in 2005, not 2006.
