The puzzle that we _________ today was quite a hard _______ to crack.

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by choosing the correct/most appropriate options:

India was one of the first countries in the world to introduce a policy for family planning. But the issue did not receive sustained attention from the government until the mid-1960s when the population growing at an increasing rate raised the spectre of persistent food shortages, stunted economic growth and diminished international strategic autonomy. Given the limited reach of television and radio, which covered barely a fourth of the population, the Indian government relied heavily on the Indian Posts and Telegraphs Department (P&T) to spread awareness about the need for population control. The P&T used commemorative and definitive postage stamps, printed slogans/advertisements on postal stationery and slogan postmarks to communicate the importance and advertise the methods of family planning. In addition, permanent enamelled metal signboards were supposedly placed on the premises of the nearly one lakh post offices across India.

On 12 December 1966, the Indian Posts and Telegraphs Department issued two-and-a-half million copies of the commemorative postage stamp captioned ‘Plan Your Family: Family Planning Week. The information brochure issued along with the stamp justified the emphasis on family planning considering the “population explosion” in a country that “comprises 14% of the world’s population… on 2.4% of the world’s land area.” It added that the government was setting up research and training institutions to facilitate family planning and solicited “the cooperation and active participation of all the people in this National Task.” The stamp showing a happy family of four including two children—a boy not yet ten standing next to his father and a less than two-year-old girl in her mother’s arms. The cachet of the First Day Cover (FDC) of this stamp, too, showed a family of four but here the boy is a toddler while the girl is older. Interestingly, the postmark used to cancel the stamp on the first day of issue conveys two different messages in Hindi (‘???? ?????? ??? ?? ????’, that is, ‘A small family is the foundation of happiness) and English (‘A small family is a happy family’). So, while the caption of the stamp exhorts people to plan their families, the message in the postmark extols the virtues of a small family. In later family planning messages, ‘Plan Your Family’ is also translated as ‘?? ????? ???? ???? (Fewer children, happy life)’.

From the first commemorative issue, we learn two things about the government’s approach. First, the ideal was a gender-balanced family ____ four with adequate spacing between the birth of the children. Second, the government’s initiative was limited to creating awareness, exhorting people to voluntarily limit their family size, and making contraceptives available.

The year 1970 witnessed innovations in the use of postal channels for promoting family planning. The India National Philatelic Exhibition that was held in New Delhi featured family planning as a major theme. In another first, the information brochures of stamps on institutions/organisations began to highlight family planning. The brochure of the commemorative stamp on the golden jubilee of the Indian Red Cross Society (1970) noted that it “lays emphasis on family planning work” and was “running over 300 family planning centres in the country.” Later, commemoratives on the centenary of the Young Women’s Christian Association (1975), the golden jubilee of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (1977) and the centenary of the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (2005), too, emphasised their contribution to family planning.

A. The year 1977 witnessed innovations in the use of postal channels for promoting family planning, the India National Philatelic Exhibition that was held in New Delhi featured family planning as a major theme.
