Should India have a One Child Policy?

Every person in this world is born with an inherited potential with the essence of uniqueness. India's greatest strength is its vast human resource belonging to wide diversities. Dr. A PJ Abdul Kalam was the youngest of his four brothers and sister. Gandhi Ji was the youngest of the four children in his family. If India had a one-child policy back then, we would have lost some of our great legends.

Population explosion is a serious concern across the globe. But We need to overcome that by proper resource planning and measures aiming at sustainable development.

Hello Everyone,

I am Harsh Ghosh, And I want to start the group discussion with completely disagreeing on the matter "Should India have a One Child Policy?".

As the matter of fact It posses serious threat to girl child as most family would want to have a boy to continue their legacy or inherit their possessions. And also support in them in their old days. But with one child that being a girl child, they may become insecure and my consider "FOETICIDE".

Certainly this policy would help in population control but the sex ratio would extremely disturbed.

In my point of view, India should not have a one Child policy because it should be dependent on the couples of their interest. Who can afford money can have more than one child and who are from poor background they can only afford one child. So it depends on the individual or the couple. We can't decide the law.

But we have to think of the population also. As India occupies the second position in terms of population. So, not that we are having money we can have 5 children's. Just think about it and having 2 children in a family is good.

Thank you.

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.

Hi guys.

My name is Saurav.

Now, I want to talk about the topic which is related to one child policy.

Guys, I have entirely adhered to this type of decision. India should have a one-child policy. It is essential because we have a second position on the population in the world. In this situation, India has many problems as economic growth and mostly unemployment. Due to population, India has the biggest problem that is unemployment. If Our population is decreasing then Unemployment will be decreased. So, India should have one-child policy.

While the idea of a one-child policy may address some of India's population-related challenges, the negative consequences and ethical concerns likely outweigh the potential benefits. Policies aimed at improving education, healthcare, and economic opportunities, particularly for women, tend to be more effective and less intrusive ways of managing population growth.

Encouraging voluntary family planning and providing access to contraceptive methods can also help achieve sustainable population levels without the need for coercive measures.

In my opinion, India should not adopt a one-child policy as we know India is no.1 in population and most of them are youth and youth have a major role in the development of our country first the one-child policy started in China and many people kill their girl child or having an abortion they only want one boy child and in India without the one-child policy, many people don't want a girl child so that's why India should adopt two child policy rather than one child policy so our country developed and maintained the population as well.

It's a great topic to discuss whether "India should follow a one-child policy or not. ".

Based on the population growth it is the policy of one child can be obeyed but when we think about a family of minimum 4 members it is a small family. If we implement a one-child policy, a child feel bored alone at home without siblings. Always siblings are the best companions and friends with whom we can share everything.

It has both positive and negative edges so few considerations must be taken before implementing the policy.

Thank you.

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.

In my point of view, It should be applied, because only the population increment can't be the solution of India's growth. In India, According to Quora "Over 25 lakh, Indians die of hunger every year. ". Is it the best way to Live and develop our country?

I think rather than more children, it should be better resource availability for them so that they can use them and become able to contribute their idea's, knowledge etc in the development of our nation.

As someone also has stated, "A moon is better than millions of stars".
