For what are population data used in India?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: In development planning and resource management

Population data show how many people live in different places and provide information about their age, sex, occupations, education, movement, and other characteristics. Governments and planners use such information to estimate needs and distribute resources. It helps them plan schools, hospitals, housing, transport, employment programmes, food supplies, water systems, and other public services. Therefore, option A is correct. Population data are not collected for the unrelated activities described in the other choices.

The reasoning is that good planning must be based on the size and characteristics of the population. A rapidly growing town may need more classrooms, roads, and health facilities, while an area with an ageing population may require different services. Data also help compare regions and check whether development programmes are reaching people. Thus population statistics are valuable for development planning and resource management. The other options are clearly not serious uses of demographic information.
