In which year 'Family Planning' was renamed as 'Family Welfare' ?
Answer: D
The programme was renamed in 1977.
After the excesses of forced sterilisation during the Emergency (1975-77), the Janata government that took office in 1977 renamed the Family Planning Programme the Family Welfare Programme, and announced that family planning would be voluntary and part of a wider package of maternal and child health.
1975 is the year the Emergency was declared, two years before the rename. 2001 and 2011 are census years, and the National Population Policy of 2000 came long after the rename.
