There are many aspects of this topic! India needs a single child policy. India is suffering from a lot of severe crises and a loss in agriculture. Economical. Educational. Health sectors and so on. There are many reasons for it and population growth is the main one.

The lesser population will tend to the proper utilization of resources and will balance the growth and consumption of the country but on the other side, the one-child policy is quite negotiable because of various factors. Gender equality is something that would be highly affected. In India, a boy child is always given a priority and if we will adopt a one-child policy it would definitely lead to abortions and gender imbalances. This thought would also need to be taken into consideration.

Yes. I totally agree with the thing that India should have a one-child policy. The higher population is the root cause of many issues. Unemployment, stress and the list goes on.

People are forgetting humanity as everyone is in a hurry. Talking about it we can consider a hurry for catching a bus or train. Even local transports are not sufficient for so many people and then they have to hand in train doors and then they have to lose their lives.

The next thing is we almost always say about others that no one here is disciplined. But following discipline is really hard again because of overcrowded-ness everywhere which is happening because of the huge population.

So I think India should have this policy but while applying this policy it should also generate awareness about this thing.

Good evening everyone,

In my opinion, One-child policy in India is good because present India suffers with higher population to overcome this problem we may for this one-child policy and we can control Indian population and everyone should know about this policy and the next thing if they want children more than one then adopt the children so after that you have 2 children as you want.

In my opinion, rather than a one child policy what we need at the moment is awareness about family planning. Since, instead of applying this policy on the entire population we need to instill this knowledge into people's minds that their decisions of family planning should primarily depend on their income, their livelihood and any other factor that exists in their lives which is going to affect the upbringing of a child. I raise this statement since in India there are numerous such families which do not have a decent yearly income to support their well-being and a healthy upbringing even for a single child and yet they end up having more than two children. So this entire process should happen gradually and hopefully with time people will understand the gravity of the situation.

I'd like to put forward my point of view, here which is if we try to look at the issue in a horizontal manner there are some major drawbacks as well as advantages on implementing such a policy.

Advantages being that it's going to put a hold on the rapidly rising population which is something to be gravely looked into. Since adopting a one child policy is definitely going to provide with more amount of resources to be utilized by the people. Furthermore, a lesser amount of wastage, lesser consumption.

Whereas, if we trying focusing on the drawbacks it does make it very lonely for a single child to be in a family. Makes it worse, if both the parents are working. To have a sibling is something all of us prefer. Moreover, when the parents grow older, the responsibility to look after them can be divided among their children. Given the kind of work pressure and busy life, most people have in today's time. Which does make life easier for all of them? That's it from my side. Thank you.

I am not agree with the one child policy and I will not support this statement that India should have one child policy because as per my opinion, single child may be depressed some children do not share their feelings their belongings with their parents they think thousand times or sometimes we cannot share our feelings with friends also. We all want siblings with whom we can share what we think and what is right this can be first point.

And second one is that I know everyone have feelings in India people are emotional parents want from their children all is love and emotions and in any case if one children did not support in their old age or in any condition then they have another one. And of course why India only by not every country should think about this.

But population matters very much for our nation our livelihood agriculture so people have to do children to see future as well.

Thankyou.

I totally agree with the above statement. India should strictly stand by the one child policy scheme. The expensive growth in the population is the root cause of every basic problem in the country. This has in turn left our children who are the future of the country undernourished, with no proper education and constantly fighting for the resources which are supposed to be everyone birth right.

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.

Population control is a big concern for a country like India which is stifled under the rapidly expanding number of people. But I don't think implementing a one child policy will be the exact solution to this complication. Sachin Tendulkar was the sixth child of his parents. Imagine that if we had a one child policy, India would have lost her God of cricket. So each and every human resource in this Earth is precious. Neither of us are destined to deliberately hold their breathe. Rising population can be dealt with the sustainable use of resources. I strongly believe in the strength of our earth. Rather than colonising the space, we should take effort to make this planet hospitable to many more species that can flourish endlessly.

In my opinion, a one-child policy is good because the population will control through this when population will decrease and the country will make pollution-free because cars and vehicles are also reduced. Many facilities are available for everyone.
