Policy should be 'one child plus other adopt child' because by this policy who children are not able to get education, food and home and also parents love, will get and make sure all world proud of India and all children will get better future and India will become great.

Hello, I am Rachel,

I would like to share my views on the one-child policy.

Well, India is a large country through population wise. And now India has become the second most populated country. In India resources are limited and the population is increasing day by day. But in my views, India should not have a one-child policy because every child should have a sibling so that they can share their emotions, problems and all the fights. As we Indians are very emotional it is not acceptable in India to have one child. We want all relations we want have enough resources if they use them wisely then there is no need to have one child.

Yes, India should have a one-child policy. Because there is a huge population explosion in India. India stands 2nd place in population after china. Due to this, there is a demand for every resource such as food, land, water, etc. And the population explosion is also the main reason for unemployment in our country. If the population is less then the demand for the jobs will be less and everyone will get a job. But due to more population in our country, millions of people are not even able to eat bread.

If the one-child policy is implemented, the population will be under control and we can avoid many problems in the coming years. But there may be a fall in the youth population in our country.

Good afternoon to all of you.

In my point of view, India should not have a one-child policy.

Because not any rule can stop the population of India. It depends on only citizens of any country. The government should have a need to make to aware citizens demerits of population. If more citizens of our country are educated then the population is also reduced. So, thank you.

Rather than following one child India should follow not more than two-child policy. As we know India is the seventh-largest and second-largest country in the terms of area and population so it requires huge manpower in the fields like defence medical and politics.

Also, a single boy doesn't know the values and love of his siblings. Indian parents are also depending on their children after the sixties.

So, India should follow not more than two-child policy.

No. If the child is single there is a chance of feeling loneliness when parents are busy. Having siblings teaches values of relationship, sharing, helping each other, understanding people, supporting family members, feeling responsibility. So having at least one sibling is a must. In the present generation, people are very busy that they don't have time to spend time with family so the proper relation between each other is decreasing. So having a sibling teaches the value of a relationship which is very very important for life.

Hello guys in my view no such dictator restriction is needed in a democracy like India.

To control the population,

Correct education is enough.

In past times the increase in population just due to the lack of education and due to lack of awareness about pregnancy control measures.

But today is a new generation of awareness and knowledge so no such orthodox policy is needed.

Also needless to say everyone knows that due to the one-child policy, China is facing nowadays an issue of having a large old population that can happen in India too.

According to me, I think the government should work in all dimensions.

1. The imposition of 1 child policy for the next five years.
2. Spreading awareness as well as adequate knowledge on family planning and contraceptive methods.
3. Shaping the current young population in a skillful manner i.e. in a constructive way.
4. Imposing 2 child policy for the next 5 years after the upward mentioned rules were followed.

Absolutely. Yes. It is reaching 140cr.

Now we will overtake China in a decade or so. Forest land is decreasing because of human habitation. Animal, and birds population is decreasing. India has the most polluted cities in the world. Inflation, unemployment, high crime rate, less import, the standard of living decreasing, rivers polluted, water woes, high rate of land & flats, temperature rise, overcrowded public transportation, congestion, dipping health and average human life expectancy age, corruption, very slow dip in poverty level, immigration, are some of the bad side effects of overpopulation. India can't be a developed country until it brings down a population to under 1 billion. Anything over that is a burden to the country.

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.
