Why is partnership between government and society necessary in the National Population Policy?

Correct answer: Because voluntary goals are not achieved without aware participation

The direct answer is D. Government can create policies, provide funds, train workers, and organise health and education services, but people and communities must understand, accept, and use those services. Families make many decisions about health, education, and family planning, so informed social participation is essential when goals are voluntary. A is wrong because a policy must be implemented in real communities, not merely written on paper. B is wrong because people are directly affected by and involved in population measures. C is wrong because individuals and families cannot have their health and family decisions replaced by government alone; rights and informed choice matter. D correctly connects public participation with successful implementation. Memory cue: government provides support, society creates acceptance and action; both are needed for lasting results.
