Question

Statement: India today is midstream in its demographic transaction. In the last 60 years there has been an almost continuous decline in mortality; while fertility has declined over the last 20 years. The consequence is that there has been a rapid growth in population over the last 50 years.
Courses of Action:
I. India should immediately revitalise its family planning programme.
II. The Government should immediately launch a massive education programme through mass media highlighting the implication of population growth at the present rate.

• A. Only I follows
• B. Only II follows
• C. Either I or II follows
• D. Neither I nor II follows
• E. Both I and II follow

Answer 1

The correct option is E Both I and II follow

Clearly, to face the problem of the ever-growing population, an effective family planning programme, for the people to have small families, is a must. Education shall further stress the advantages of having lesser number of children and the disasters of the fast growth in population. Thus, both the courses follow.
