Explanation:

According to the figures of recent National Family Health Survey, the National Total Fertility Rate (TFR) has declined to 2.0 from the value of 2.2 found during the earlier NFHS of 2015-16.

This is the first time India’s TFR has fallen below the so-called population replacement threshold of 2.1, at which a population is expected to replace itself exactly from one generation to the next under certain conditions.

A health scientist and senior manager with the NGO Population Foundation of India, however, said India’s population was expected to rise in the short term and peak at about 1.6 billion between 2040 and 2050 before starting to decline.
