Should India have a One Child Policy?

Yes. India should follow the one child policy. As by 2050, it is estimated that India will overtake China in terms of population. This will be quite difficult for GOI that how to distribute the resources for public welfare. Also China being worried about this is following such policies to regulate their population.

These days parents are already very busy to spend time with their children. Therefore if a child will not have any siblings then he/she may feel very lonely. And may not get the required amount of love and care.

China is well known for having instituted a one-child policy back in 1979. While the policy was effective in stemming population growth, critics argue that the side effects of the policy have created many societal problems in China today.

In a country like India, population planning can only be achieved by formulating and implementing a strong policy, particularly among less educated women. Women should be encouraged so that they can learn about family planning. Obviously, women\'s empowerment has to be the central theme in population planning policies.

Another fact is that, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, achieved declines of fertility without a one-child policy. These two states maintained healthy sex ratio without one child policy.

One child policy cannot be implemented in India in the same way as in China, education and persuasion methods are appropriate and necessary.

Therefore, education about family planning is necessary to control population growth. No need to implement one child policy.

In 2014, 12 Indian states have passed laws to restrict Indian citizens from having no more than two children.

India should not implement one child policy instead it should Go with providing awareness and implementing rules like more than 2 children would not provide facilities by the gov or if reservation is claimed by that family that should also be provided up to 1 or 2 children not more than that.

India should adopt one child policy as foremost problem is our population which is being keep on increasing and the resultant of which is itense competition unemployment unequality and so on to avoid such problems we should adopt this policy.

At my point of view, India should not follow the one-child policy instead of this they have to make a policy that not to have more than two children. Because the child doesn't feel unsafe and lonely. And you can easly takecare of then and give them time.

I hope actually they should make a rule tht there should not be more than two child. Because, if there is only one child. For the future there will be no siblings or relationship, child feels loneliness and suppose if a child dies a parent can't stay without them. So if two child are there. They can come out of the sarrow.

Yes. For the time being, this policy can be adopted. It has been predicted that India will overtake China by 2050 in terms of population. One child policy is needed mainly when the nation is unable to meet the consumption, employment needs of its people. India is facing the same problem. Currently, youths constitute a major part of population. This is the reason that for the time being this policy can be adopted. Though Indian economy is growing very fast but still unemployment is prevalent. But there can be a hurdle for implementation of this policy- the mindsets of people. The decision of having kids completely depends on the family itself. So it will be a kind of interference by government which might not be welcomed.

I will be democratic about this issue.

First all, to resolve the issue of population we should opt this policy.

India is a traditional country so it will not be easy to restrict to one child, I will include other factor like education level, tradition, women empowerment etc.

There are many disadvantages of this policy like lack of siblings emotions because parents are not enough free to spent quality time with their children.

So, India should opt two children policy as well as central theme shoule be women empowerment.

I don't think so. India has two children policy and it's too strict because in the village area where the rules are not allowed. It's too necessary. They knew about this rule. Two children policy is good because children don't feel loneliness.
