Question
State with reasons whether you agree or disagree with the following statement:
Death rate is falling rapidly in India.
Options
Agree
Disagree
Solution
Yes, I agree with this statement.
Reasons:
- In the post-independence period, with advances in medical and health facilities, epidemics like the plague, cholera, malaria, smallpox, tuberculosis, etc. have almost been eradicated.
- An increase in literacy among women has led to a decline in the infant mortality rate.
- The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) helps to mitigate all types of disasters. This has helped in reducing the loss of lives.
- Due to other factors like social reforms, rapid urbanization, publicity campaigns, etc. the death rate has declined. The death rate in India has fallen rapidly from 19.0 in 1961 to 7.48 in 2011.
Thus, death rate is falling rapidly in India.
