Himalaya Steel Ltd. runs a health camp project. Its report lists: (a) Rs 25 lakh spent, (b) 60 camps held, (c) 8,000 patients screened, (d) 15% fall in untreated chronic illness in the area over three years, attributed to follow-up care. Which pairing correctly classifies these items?

Spending is an input, camps held and patients screened are outputs, and the fall in untreated chronic illness is an outcome or impact. Only the last item shows actual change in beneficiaries' condition rather than resources used or activity delivered.

  2. B(a) output, (b) input, (c) outcome, (d) baseline
  3. C(a) and (b) inputs, (c) impact, (d) output
  4. D(a) input, (b) outcome, (c) output, (d) baseline

Explanation

Money spent is an input. Camps held and patients screened are outputs, being activities delivered. The fall in untreated illness is a change in beneficiaries' condition, so it reflects outcome or impact. The other options mislabel activity counts as results or the change as an output.
