These goals were a set of eight international development goals aimed at addressing various global challenges, including poverty, hunger, disease, gender equality, and access to education, with a target date for achievement by 2015.

Description:Under the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act in India, termination of pregnancy is generally not allowed after 20 weeks of gestation unless there is a risk to the life of the pregnant woman or a risk to the physical or mental health of the pregnant woman or there is a substantial risk of the child being born with serious physical or mental abnormalities. In such cases, termination may be allowed up to 24 weeks, but it requires the opinion of two registered medical practitioners.

Description:India is currently in the "Late expanding" stage of the demographic cycle. This means that the country has experienced a decline in birth rates, but death rates have also decreased, leading to a period of rapid population growth. In this stage, the population is still relatively young, and there is a potential for significant economic growth if the right policies are in place to harness the demographic dividend.

Description:The magnitude of unemployment is aggravated by "c. Population explosion." When there is a rapid and unchecked growth in the population of a country without a corresponding increase in job opportunities and economic growth, it can lead to a higher rate of unemployment. This is because there are more people entering the workforce than there are jobs available, making it difficult for individuals to find employment. Population control measures can help mitigate this issue by managing population growth in a sustainable way. Quality healthcare services (option b) can indirectly help by reducing mortality rates and increasing life expectancy, but they may not directly address the problem of unemployment.

Description:In demographic stages, "when birth rate begins to decline and death rate further decreases," it is said to be the "b. Early expansion stage." This stage is characterized by a growing population due to high birth rates and decreasing death rates.

Description:As per the WHO 2000 report, India's health expenditure was "b. 4.3% of GDP."

Description:The limit for registration of birth can vary by country and even within different regions or jurisdictions within a country.

This means that parents or guardians are typically required to register a newborn's birth within 21 days after the date of birth. It's essential to check the specific registration requirements and deadlines in your local area, as they can vary.

Census exercises in many countries, including India, are often conducted on or around March 1st to obtain a snapshot of the population at a specific point in time. However, the specific reference date may vary by country or region, so it's essential to consult the relevant authorities or documents for the exact date used in a particular census.

Description:Census is conducted every "a. 10" years in India. The decennial census in India aims to collect demographic and socio-economic data about the country's population and housing.

Description:The first census in India was conducted in "c. 1881."

Description:The origin of vital statistics begins at early stage from 1854 with named James Stark for Register House in Edinburgh city associated with the Scottish Registration Act. He created the concept of vital statistics in 1854

Description:Vital statics include life expectancy, birth rate death rate and other morbidity and mortality statistics. Education rate or literacy rate are considered as demographic data.

Description:In India, a newborn's birth is typically required to be registered within "b. 21 days" from the date of birth. This is the standard registration deadline, but it's essential to check with local authorities for any specific variations or requirements in your area.

Sub centers are the most basic healthcare units in the country, and they often serve as the point of entry for various healthcare programs, including family planning services.

Description:The best indicator of fertility is "b. TFR (Total fertility rate)." The Total Fertility Rate represents the average number of children a woman is expected to have during her lifetime, and it is a widely used and comprehensive measure of fertility levels in a population. While other indicators like the General Fertility Rate (GFR), Crude Birth Rate (CBR), and Net Reproductive Rate (NRR) provide valuable information, the TFR is often considered the most reliable and informative indicator for assessing fertility rates.

Description:Eligible couples are typically defined as those couples whose wife is in the age group of "c. 15-45 years" in the context of family planning and healthcare programs. This age range is commonly used for assessing and providing family planning services and support to women of childbearing age.
