The ‘family planning’ programs in India were initiated in:
1. 1947 | 2. 1951 | ||
3. 1957 | 4. 1961 |
A statutory ban on amniocentesis in India was necessary because:
1. | It is very expensive |
2. | It can tell about chromosomal aberrations |
3. | It is an invasive procedure and carries a high risk of abortions |
4. | It can be used for pre-natal sex determination of the fetus leading to female feticides |
The most important measure to check the population explosion in India is:
1. | Enforce one child norm by law with strict penalties for non-compliance |
2. | Progressively increasing the statutory marriage age in males to 25 years |
3. | Motivate smaller families by using contraceptive methods |
4. | Allowing pre-natal sex determination to encourage selective feticide |
