Why is it necessary to take health services to villages under the National Population Policy?

Correct answer: Because a large share of population also lives in villages

The direct answer is A: health services must reach villages because a large share of the population lives in rural areas. If services are concentrated only in cities, many rural families may face difficulty obtaining treatment, maternal care, child care, vaccination, health information and family-welfare services. Extending services to villages makes public health more accessible and supports fairness in service delivery. A is correct because it identifies the people who must be reached. B is wrong because villages are inhabited by many communities. C is wrong because villages are settlements on land, not seas. D is wrong because villages are not only factories; they include homes, farms, schools and local communities. Memory cue: public health should follow people, including people living in rural areas.
