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.

Question 1MediumLevel 93
What is the main reason for combining nutrition and education for adolescents in the National Population Policy?
Correct answer: A
Nutrition strengthens the body and education strengthens decision-making. Exam tip: connect both with human development.
Attention to adolescents in the National Population Policy 2000 is an example of what type of planning?
Correct answer: C
A target-group-based social plan is designed for a particular group whose needs require special attention. In the National Population Policy 2000, adolescents were recognized as an important group. Their needs can include correct health information, education about responsible behaviour, nutrition, protection from early marriage, and access to suitable health services. Planning for these needs is focused rather than general or unrelated to population welfare.
Option C is correct because it describes a social plan aimed at a clearly identified target group. The policy’s attention to adolescents is not a disaster, military, or mineral programme. Recognizing a group and shaping support around its specific needs is the central feature of target-group planning. Therefore, the reference to adolescents is an example of target-group-based social planning.
