Should India have a One Child Policy?

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.

Hello everyone.

As per my opinion, India is not ready for the one-child policy because I think they won't follow it because of a lack of awareness. Firstly, it is important to aware people especially in rural areas, should know about the consequences and the result of population growth. Also, India is the second-largest country in terms of population which means a lot of people that is why just initiating policy can't be a proper solution.

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.

First of all, I think our citizens of India are not so educated that they will follow these rules of one child policy.

It is very difficult to implement this policy.

Rather, at first we should take the initiative in the poor societies and communities where people are giving birth to 6-7 child.

Hi all.

Feeling great to be part of this gd. The topic we are discussing that whether India should have a one-child policy or not?

Suddenly introducing a one-child policy would create a negative impact on citizens. So, first, we have to introduce a two-child policy, & we have to analyze it by a survey that whether its working or not. As we all are aware that, in India, no one likes to follow rules even the person makes this rule into an act. So, in India there are lot of issues are there like poverty, illiteracy, corruption, etc. First, we have to eradicate corruption, definitely, when your country will be under good administration, the country will develop. The literacy rate will improve, citizens mindset will change, then automatically it will lead to less population. Being an optimistic person, I am bound to say, we can't pick this one-child policy as our topmost priority.

Definitely, the reason behind this policy to make our country developed. But it's just a daydream.

Thanks.

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.

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.

Hi, I am Animesh Sarder. My opinion is, Of course, this policy should be started because now India GDP so much decreases and this effect India should not be makeup last 50 year, so in this situation, population control is the most important thing in India. Now have so many jobless educated person in India. If that time we are not starting this policy, then the future newborn is suffering big problems.

Definitely yes, because if any family have more than one child or many, so it's not up to family problem only but it also create a much of problem for society. As we can see in society perspective, in our surrounding everything are extravagant, there are still some childs who don't get education, most of youth have been facing unemployment, child labour, population has been increasing.

I think we should follow the one-child policy in India not for all time only as long as we do not maintain our population. Because we know that in the field of population India has the second rank. We also know that for the development of any country population is a major factor. Because of the population of any country is more than unemployment increases in that country, not only in the case of employment also more population causes population. In the field of population, India always increases day by day.

So, please make unity us, then such type of rules can be done.
