What shall we do about our ever-increasing Population?

[faraz]

Well India with a ever-increasing population is a cause of concern right from its existence!But,with more self-help groups and better living conditions and increasing importance to girl child this is turning into an asset for india.HUMAN CAPITAL as it is called is growing into a very useful tool for india,right from cheap manpower to neutral accent for BPO's ,indians ever-increasing population may soon be turned down as not such a serious problem as it used to be with the GROWING education concern all over the country!!!!!I believe at this time we should concentrate on more of educational institutions and better awareness in health and hygiene!@!and spend more on it on par with defence and army!!!!

Hi All,


I would like to start with small statistics, India is seven times more popular than America, but has its population which is seven times that of America. That would underline how intense is Indian population. The view of it as an asset or liability is not of concern here. The steps we can take to reduce the growth in population is of concern here. In the initial days, the no. of children were more and the existing population was of not concern. But now even two or three children is adding to increasing population. Why? The reason is the increased number of couples. The younger generation population is now at an all time high.


To combat the population, we need to have massive campaigns and education among masses regarding family control. The quote that "Children are god's gift" should be misinterpreted. Everyone on earth would agree on it, but that does'nt imply that we give birth to them and let them starve. Its a logical issue as well an emotional one. We need to deal it carefully. We need to take help from local agencies, local heads, and it should be a home-to-home campaign as election. When we can spend on election a lot, we too can afford to spend on these issues. Education would go a long way in dealing with this situation.


The initiative of government to deprive people from government services having more than two people is applauded but should be followed in true spirit. The essence of these policies should be dealt at detail to all concerned and the problems that may arise out of huge population should be dealt with region wise. The educated youth can also play a role in its own way. The huge rallies carried out for no reason should be avoided and few could be directed to a worthy cause like this.


Wishing you all success.
