India's population growth rate was 1.2%, in 2013. The growth rate of population in India has been caused by annual birth rate, death rate and rate of migration.
Direction: Read the case study given below and answer the questions that follow:The population of India according to their economic status is divided into three groups, namely; main workers, marginal workers and non- workers. It is observed that in India, the proportion of workers (both main and marginal) is only 39.8 per cent (2011) leaving a vast majority of about 60 per cent as non- workers. This indicates an economic status in which there is a larger proportion of dependent population, further indicating possible existence of large number of unemployed or under employed people.The proportion of working population, of the states and Union Territories show a moderate variation from about 39.6 per cent in Goa to about 49.9 per cent in Daman and Diu. The states with larger percentages of workers are Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur and Meghalaya. Among the Union Territories, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu have higher participation rate. It is understood that, in the context of a country like India, the work participation rate tends to be higher in the areas of lower levels of economic development since number of manual workers are needed to perform the subsistence or near subsistence economic activities.According to the economic status, the population of India is divided into?- a)Main workers

An uneven spatial distribution of population in India suggests a close relationship between population and physical, socioeconomic and historical factors. Fertility rate, mortality rate and migration are the demographic factors that affect the distribution of population.

Proportion of people living in rural areas
According to the latest data from the World Bank, the proportion of people living in rural areas in India is about 70 percent.
Factors contributing to high rural population
There are several factors that contribute to the high proportion of people living in rural areas in India, including:
1. Agriculture: Agriculture is the primary occupation in rural areas and provides employment to a significant portion of the rural population.
2. Lack of industrialization: The lack of industrialization in rural areas means that there are fewer job opportunities, forcing people to rely on agriculture and other traditional occupations.
3. Limited access to education: Rural areas often have limited access to education, which limits the ability of people to pursue alternative career paths.
4. Cultural factors: In many cases, cultural factors also play a role in keeping people in rural areas. For example, many people are attached to their land and do not want to leave their ancestral homes.
Challenges faced by rural areas
Despite the significant proportion of people living in rural areas, these areas face several challenges, including:
1. Poverty: Rural areas tend to have higher poverty rates than urban areas, with many people struggling to make ends meet.
2. Lack of basic amenities: Rural areas often lack basic amenities such as access to clean water, electricity, and healthcare.
3. Limited infrastructure: Rural areas often have limited infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and public transportation.
4. Limited access to education: As mentioned earlier, rural areas often have limited access to education, which can limit opportunities for individuals and the development of the community as a whole.
In conclusion, while the proportion of people living in rural areas in India is high, these areas face several challenges that need to be addressed in order to improve the lives of those living there.

Definition of Youth as per NYP-2014
The National Youth Policy (NYP-2014) launched in February 2014 defines 'youth' as persons in the age group of 15-29 years. This definition provides a clear understanding of the age bracket that the policy aims to target and support.
Importance of Defining Youth
Defining the age group for youth is crucial as it helps in identifying the specific needs, challenges, and aspirations of this demographic. It allows policymakers to tailor programs and initiatives that address the unique requirements of young individuals, ultimately empowering them to reach their full potential.
Reasons for Choosing 15-29 Years
1. Transition from Childhood to Adulthood: The age group of 15-29 years marks the transition phase from childhood to adulthood. During this period, young individuals undergo significant physical, emotional, and cognitive changes, making it an important developmental stage.
2. Education and Skill Development: This age group typically encompasses individuals who are pursuing education or skill development programs. By targeting this age range, the NYP-2014 aims to provide adequate support and opportunities for young people to acquire knowledge and skills necessary for their personal and professional growth.
3. Active Participation in Society: Individuals aged 15-29 years are at a stage where they actively engage in various aspects of society. They contribute to economic activities, participate in civic affairs, and shape the cultural fabric of the nation. Recognizing their potential and providing them with the necessary resources can lead to their active involvement in nation-building.
4. Harnessing Demographic Dividend: India has a significant youth population, and this demographic dividend can be harnessed to drive economic growth and development. By defining youth as persons aged 15-29 years, the NYP-2014 acknowledges the importance of empowering this age group to contribute effectively to the nation's progress.
Conclusion
The NYP-2014 defines youth as individuals between the ages of 15-29 years. This age bracket is strategically chosen to address the specific needs and aspirations of young people during their transition from childhood to adulthood. By providing targeted support and opportunities, the policy aims to empower the youth of India to achieve their full potential and contribute to the nation's development.

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?
Direction: Read the case study given below and answer the questions that follow:
The population of India according to their economic status is divided into three groups, namely; main workers, marginal workers and non- workers. It is observed that in India, the proportion of workers (both main and marginal) is only 39.8 per cent (2011) leaving a vast majority of about 60 per cent as non- workers. This indicates an economic status in which there is a larger proportion of dependent population, further indicating possible existence of large number of unemployed or under employed people.
The proportion of working population, of the states and Union Territories show a moderate variation from about 39.6 per cent in Goa to about 49.9 per cent in Daman and Diu. The states with larger percentages of workers are Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur and Meghalaya. Among the Union Territories, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu have higher participation rate. It is understood that, in the context of a country like India, the work participation rate tends to be higher in the areas of lower levels of economic development since number of manual workers are needed to perform the subsistence or near subsistence economic activities.

Direction: Read the case study given below and answer the questions that follow:Growth of population is the change in the number of people living in a particular area between two points of time. Its rate is expressed in percentage. Population growth has two components namely; natural and induced. While the natural growth is analysed by assessing the crude birth and death rates, the induced components are explained by the volume of inward and outward movement of people in any given area. The decadal and annual growth rates of population in India are both very high and steadily increasing over time. The annual growth rate of India’s population is 1.64 percent (2011). The growth rate of population in India over the last one century has been caused by annual birth rate and death rate and rate of migration and thereby shows different trends.How is the growth of population expressed?- a)Percentage

- c)Area
