India is a subcontinent. A country with the largest population in the world, even greater than China. This impacts every sector of our developing country and even if we look properly we can see this huge population is related to almost 90 per cent of problems in this country. So if the question is about the one-child policy, I must say India should have this policy, but after taking some measures to maintain the sex ratio. In many regions of India, the girl child is not accepted properly even in this 21st century so if India is going to have this policy, many awareness campaigns regarding this policy, its importance in present days and as well as the importance of girl child, should be conducted all over the country. So in the end, I must say if India is going to have a child policy, after making proper grounds for it, it must be beneficial for India's 90 per cent problems.

Hello everyone.

Growing population is really a concerning matter for our country.

Educated people do understand the growing risk of population increase, but the illiterate or people who don't understand why birth control is necessary should be taught about its importance.

Awareness camps shall be arranged and creative ways shall be put together to attract people to attend camps. Rather than imposing a one-child or two-child policy the government as well as the citizens shall make other people aware about the need to use birth control measures.

Because having 1, 2 or more child, this decision depends upon the person. The interference of government in this matter would lead to a conflict between citizens and the government.

We all should take an initiative to make others aware about this rather than pin-pointing the government or the people around you.

Thank you.

Hello all!

I do agree with so many participants who support that India shouldn't adopt one child policy because that might slow down the number of youth population over a certain period and ultimately might lead to the result which china is already facing!

However, I would like to add another perspective to this! for example with rising inflation, and everything becoming expensive for so many parents to raise their child in a balanced env, for them one child or even no child policy might work best! (At least a child won't have to suffer for basic needs)

So the point I want to state is that the one child policy is good for those who could afford the living cost expenses to raise a child. So instead of arguing over whether one child is good or not, we should focus and find out solutions to generate more employmment and econ growth because this is proportional!

Hello everyone, so the topic of our GD is 'Should India have a child policy'.

As we all know we are the country of the largest population in the world because of that we can see there are several issues are arising in today's time like unemployment, health issues and family planning.

But I think in my opinion the one-child policy is not something which helps or there may be a possibility that this policy may create some adverse effects like a reduction in the number of young people and the ones who can do a job efficiently and positively.

I think we need to improve our technology and innovation to combat the issues related to unemployment and health issues like the other countries japan and China they also have one of the largest populations in the world but because of their innovation and technological developments, they are not facing this kind of issues.

Topic-Should India have a one child policy.

I think, We should follow one child policy in India not for all time only as long as we do not maintain our population. Because we know that in field of population India have second rank we also know that for development of any country population is major factor. Because if population of any country is more then unemployment increases in that country, not only in case of employment also more population causes pollution. In field of pollution India always increases day by day. But in India only politics is run, so no politician can do this type of work, because they only wants to win in some way, so in India this type of rules not come at any time and actually here not only politician is wrong our civilian also not wants this type of rules. So, please make unity us, then such types of rules can done.

THANKS TO ALL.

I think India should do implement policies for controlling the population, but directly implementing 1 child policy won't be a good idea because over a few generations India would have more of an aged population before even becoming developed. Moreover, the results would be mixed as few states are already at the good side with respect to this issue and some of them are required to give proper attention. It is true that population control is necessary, and it is much required in rural areas of our country, people should be aware of birth control and should be educated about proper family planning so that they could raise the standards of their life. It's more important to encourage quality education for all so that all the citizens could understand and relate to this as well as various other socio-economical and environmental problems in a better way.

According to me, our country should implement 1 child policy but for about 10 years. At the end of 10 years the govt should study the outcome of 1 child policy implemented for 10 years & then based on the outcome should decide on whether 2 continue with 1 child policy or not. Because ours is 7th biggest country by area which means 6 countries are bigger than us & only 1 country is having population more than us (China) out of 6. So aren't those countries functioning? Moreover, no country needs such a big population. It puts pressure on natural resources, it's the reason for unemployment, long queues, rush, traffic jams, competition & pollution. As of now, our population is 138 crores but our fertility rate is 2.1 which is the replacement fertility rate. Till our population reduces to 60 crores we should have 1 child policy.

Hello all.

As far as one-child policy is concerned. I think India should not make a one-child policy. Suppose if a parent produce one child that may me boy or girl. As we know our society prefer boy child to girl child. Then it may be the gender problems in our country. If a family has only one child then he will not agree to send his boy to defence forces so it will not be good for our Defence. If a family produce a girl then after her marriage who will look after them. If a child dies then the parents will be alone who will be the"boodhape ki lathi". At last but very important a parent produce one child then he/ she can't experience the brother-sister relationship well. There are so many causes to not apply one-child policy. If two-child"hum do hamare do" is applied then I totally agree to it. That is it.

Thank you.

Yes,

Advantages of Implementing a One-Child Policy in India.

For the Child:
-> Enhanced quality of life, education, and healthcare.
-> Increased opportunities for development.
-> Better emotional well-being.
-> A more sustainable environment for future generations.

For the Country:
-> Population control to stabilize and reduce growth.
-> Boosted economic growth and reduced poverty.
-> Improved healthcare and education services.
-> Preservation of natural resources and environment.
-> Enhanced infrastructure and resource allocation.

In summary, a one-child policy in India can benefit both individual children and the nation as a whole by promoting a higher quality of life, economic stability, and sustainable development. Careful implementation is essential to balance individual rights with broader societal needs.

Hello everyone,

My name is Priyanka and I am glad to have a chance to put my point in front of you.

Today's discussion topic is should India have one child policy? yeah defiantly India have to adopt one child policy because of the reason increasing the population and some parents just gave birth to him/her for forcing by their family and in-laws this is a disgusting thing I saw because of your family your relatives they want you to have more than one baby but they can't say scroll on point how they earn many for their child after he/she grew up. And one most point is the mentality of Indians is that don't give birth to the girl child. The conclusion on my side is one child policy has to be adopted otherwise any of girl child thrown on the road side is not only for girl time is flying child ll be a boy also.
