A1975
B1984
C1960
D1995
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 1984
1. The education section dates Gujarat's adoption of the MDM scheme.
2. Gujarat introduced the MDM Scheme in 1984 and was only the 2nd state to provide hot cooked meals.
3. The 1975 figure is when ICDS began in Chhota Udepur, not MDM, so it is a trap.
4. Therefore Gujarat introduced the MDM scheme in 1984.
