Explanation:

National Nutrition Mission has two components as follows:

1. Information, Education and Communication (IEC) Campaign against malnutrition

2. Multi-sectoral Nutrition Programme

The key objectives of the Programme-

To create awareness relating to malnutrition amongst pregnant women, lactating mothers, promote healthy lactating practices and importance of balanced nutrition;

- To improve maternal and child under-nutrition in 200 high burdened districts and to prevent and reduce the under-nutrition prevalent among children below 3 years;

- To reduce incidence of anaemia among young children, adolescent girls and women.

Statement 3 and 4 are wrong because there is no mention of eggs or unpolished rice or millets in the programme.
