Question

The first National Health Policy formulated by the Government of India in the year

The correct answer is

1983

India's first National Health Policy was adopted in 1983, following the Alma-Ata Declaration of 1978, with the goal of Health for All by 2000 through a strong primary health care network.

It was later replaced by the National Health Policy of 2002, and then by the National Health Policy of 2017, which aims at universal health coverage.

Neither 1953 nor 1993 saw a national health policy, and 2023 is far later than the first policy.

Hence, 1983.
