Consider the following: 1. India is the second country in the world to adopt a National Family Planning Programme
- A1 only
- B1 and 2
- C2 and 3Correct
- D1, 2 and 3
Explanation
The correct answer is C because of the following reasons
Statement 1 is incorrect. India was actually the first country in the world to adopt a National Family Planning Programme, launching it in 1952.
Statement 2 and 3 are correct. The Family Planning Programme in India has historically aimed at lowering fertility rates to stabilize the population and has been a key component of the various National Health Policies to improve maternal and child health.
Since the first statement is wrong and the question implies the validity of the others in option C, the answer is determined by the factual error in India being the second country instead of the first.
