Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A It will help analyse whether the government is making adequate plans to serve its citizens.
B It will help the government evaluate human resources and make plans to improve them.
C It will help the government plan human welfare activities.

Citizens should be informed about the size of their village, town, or city's population. That will help the citizens understand the changes taking place around them. It will also help analyse whether the government is making adequate plans to serve its citizens. The government must understand the quality and quantity of human resources from time to time. When a government understands its human resources, it can make plans to improve them.

The primary goal of the census must not be to control the population, but to understand and improve living conditions.
