If a district has low literacy and high birth rate which is the most balanced strategy under the National Population Policy?

Correct answer: Expansion of education health services and family welfare awareness

Direct answer: B is correct. Low literacy can limit access to information and make it harder for people to understand health, contraception, maternal care and the advantages of planned families. A high birth rate may therefore require a broad, supportive response rather than a single coercive action. Expanding education, improving health services and building family-welfare awareness together addresses knowledge, access and decision-making. Services should be voluntary, respectful and available to both women and men. A is wrong because police action alone does not solve educational, health or service barriers and may be coercive. C is wrong because stopping the census removes useful evidence for planning. D is wrong because schools are needed for education; they should not all be converted into hospitals. Memory cue: complex population problems need a combined social and health strategy.
