Course of Action (i) suggests conducting another census to verify the results. This is a reasonable step to ensure accuracy before taking major policy decisions, but it doesn't directly address the problem of the low female-to-male ratio. Course of Action (ii) suggests issuing orders to departments to encourage people to improve the ratio. This is vague and unlikely to be effective without concrete policies and targeted interventions. Neither action provides a practical or effective solution to the stated problem.
