Why is it necessary to provide services to vulnerable groups under the National Population Policy?

Correct answer: For equal health benefits and social justice

Correct answer: A. Vulnerable groups may face poverty, discrimination, distance from health centres, disability or lack of information. Providing them with health, education and family-welfare services gives them a fair opportunity to protect their health and make informed choices. This supports equality, inclusion and social justice, which are important aims of a people-centred population policy. A is correct because it includes equal health benefits and justice. B is wrong because the policy should not serve only wealthy people. C is wrong because the purpose is to expand useful services, not stop them. D is wrong because increasing trade alone does not explain the need for population and health services. Memory cue: vulnerable groups require inclusion, not exclusion.
