Question

Match List I (Health Planning Committees) with List II (Main Recommendations/Important Results) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists.

List I	List II
A. Shrivastava Committee	1. Malaria workers to look after FP work also
B. Chadah Committee	2. Integration of services from the highest to the lowest levels
C. Kartar Singh Committee	3. Led to creation of Health Guides
D. Jungalwalla Committee	4. Led to creation of multipurpose worker

• A. A-3, B-4, C-1, D-2
• B. A-3, B-1, C-4, D-2
• C. A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3
• D. A-2, B-4, C-1, D-3

Hint:

Match each committee to its single best known achievement: health guides, integration, multipurpose worker, or malaria-FP link.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Four committees, four legacies. The trick is to remember one clear headline fact for each committee and not mix up the two committees whose names sound alike in outcome (health guides versus health service integration).

1. Shrivastava Committee (1975): Known for starting the Village Health Guide scheme, a plan to train local part time workers close to the community. This links to "Led to creation of Health Guides", item 3.
2. Chadah Committee (1963): Suggested that the malaria surveillance workers, once cases fell after the eradication drive, should double up on family planning tasks. This links to item 1.
3. Kartar Singh Committee (1973): Proposed merging separate vertical workers into a single Multi Purpose Worker at the sub centre. This links to item 4.
4. Jungalwalla Committee (1967): Its whole focus was integration, one cadre working the same way from the top of the health department to the village level. This links to item 2.

Putting these together gives A-3, B-1, C-4, D-2, which the source paper's own printed answer does not match, since that key swaps items 2 and 3 between A and D. That does not fit the standard committee to outcome pairing taught in community medicine.

Let's summarize:

• Health Guides come from Shrivastava, not Jungalwalla.
• Integration of services comes from Jungalwalla, not Shrivastava.
• Chadah gave malaria workers a family planning role, and Kartar Singh gave India the multipurpose worker.

So the correct match is A-3, B-1, C-4, D-2.
