Let’s break it down:

- The Economic Survey 2018-19 talked about the Total Fertility Rate (TFR)—that’s the average number of children born to a woman over her lifetime.

- The “replacement rate” is 2.1; if we go below that, the population growth starts shrinking in the long run.

- The Survey projected India’s TFR would dip below this threshold by 2021.

- Here’s the rundown of the options:

- 2024: No, that’s too late according to the Survey’s projection.

- 2025: Again, later than what’s in the Survey.

- 2022: Close, but still a year after the projection.

- 2021: This is spot on as per the Economic Survey 2018-19.
