National Population Policy
राष्ट्रीय जनसंख्या नीति
In this Class 9 Geography topic from the chapter “Population,” students learn why India introduced the National Population Policy and how it addresses population growth through voluntary, informed family planning. The topic connects population stabilisation with accessible reproductive healthcare, improved maternal and child health, universal education, delayed marriage, reduced infant mortality and greater awareness of demographic change. It also helps students understand how public policy responds to population trends and supports people’s quality of life.
