Q633. Which of the following is the most effective long-term strategy to combat vector-borne diseases like malaria in tribal belts?
Explanation
Controlling malaria in tribal areas requires a long-term approach that focuses on prevention through integrated vector management. This includes the use of insecticide-treated bed nets and residual spraying to reduce the mosquito population and prevent bites. Combining these preventive measures with early diagnosis and prompt treatment is more effective and sustainable than mass drug distribution or large-scale population relocation.
Q634. Which of the following is NOT a reason for the historically high Total Fertility Rate (TFR) in certain districts?
Explanation
Factors such as a preference for male children and early marriage have historically contributed to high Total Fertility Rates.

These factors lead to delayed marriage and increased use of family planning, contributing to the demographic transition.
