Who started the Family Planning Programme in 1925 ?
Answer: C
The key gives R.G. Karve, as printed, meaning Raghunath Dhondo Karve.
R.D. Karve, a mathematics teacher and son of the social reformer Dhondo Keshav Karve, was the pioneer of birth control in India. In Bombay in the 1920s he ran a birth control clinic, the first in the country, and he campaigned for contraception and sex education through his Marathi journal Samaj Swasthya, at the cost of his job and of prosecutions. The question's year and initials are given as printed.
Lokmanya Tilak, Sardar Patel and Gandhi did not start any such programme; Gandhi in fact opposed artificial contraception and advocated self-control.
