Answer 1

1. The symbol denotes family planning and family welfare.
2. Through this symbol, the government seeks to create awareness about family planning, contraception and the benefits of adopting small-family norms.
3. Yes, this awareness has helped. It has encouraged people to use family-planning methods and make informed choices about the number of children they have. This has contributed to a decline in fertility and birth rates and supports better health and welfare for families. However, India’s population continues to grow, so family-planning awareness and services remain important.
