i. Surveillance of Goitre cases

iii. Monitoring through analysis of salt and urine samples.
iv. Assessment of impact of control measures over a period of time.
In India, the goal of the National Iodine Deficiency Disorder Control Programme (NIDDCP) was elimination of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) by 2000. It aims to supply iodized salt to all of India and to assess the impact of the supply of iodized salt. Quantifiable indicators used to monitor its progress include the prevalence of IDD, iodine content of salt, and knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding iodized salt.
