Answer
Expanding medical services and its effectiveness:
In India death-rate has come down but it is still higher than some of the developed countries. Advancement in medical science has increased the services and facilities for child birth and health of the new born.
Efforts should be made to see that vaccination facilities are available easily and everywhere. Awareness regarding communicable and sexual diseases like $AIDS,$ various infections, etc. should be increased. This can help to reduce death-rate and infant mortality rate.
India was the first county in the world to introduce population policy to control population. A committee was set up to frame New Population Policy of $2000$ under the Chairmanship of Dr. M.S. Swaminathan.
