Solution

A) A campaign launched in china in 1958 focusing on widespread industrialization of the country, encouraging people to set-up household industries in their backyard.

B) It may be argued that HDI rating of India is low as compared with china, partly because HDI does not include parameters of liberties of life, like political liberty of participating in state administration, and social liberty of freedom of speech, and related human rights. If these indicators are also included in the construction of HDI, India’s ranking is likely to considerably improve, as these parameters are placed fairly high in India, compared with china and Pakistan.

C) Migration of people from rural to urban areas, access to improved water sources and reduction in BPL population to 13.4% contrasting with India’s 21.8% in 2004-05.

D) One child policy adopted since 1979, has reduced the growth rate of population to nearly half. Controlling its population growth rate, china can now focus on quality of life rather than sustenance of its people.
