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.

The correct answer is: Both I and II follow.

The statement says that India has experienced a rapid population growth over the last 50 years. This is due to a decline in mortality and a decline in fertility. A decline in mortality means that more people are surviving to adulthood, while a decline in fertility means that women are having fewer children. This combination of factors leads to a rapid population growth.

There are a number of reasons why India should revitalize its family planning program. First, a large population puts a strain on resources such as food, water, and energy. Second, a large population can lead to environmental problems such as deforestation and pollution. Third, a large population can make it difficult to provide basic services such as education and healthcare.

There are also a number of reasons why the government should launch a massive education program through mass media highlighting the implication of population growth at the present rate. First, education can help people understand the importance of family planning. Second, education can help people understand the impact of population growth on the environment and on the economy. Third, education can help people make informed decisions about their own family size.

Therefore, both I and II follow.
