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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

First of all thank you for this great opportunity to tell about myself.

I am Maheshwari.

I'm going to discuss the topic "India has a one-child policy".

In my point of view, I obey the given statement.

If India has followed one child policy in India many people give priority to the boy they avoid girl children. It may cause gender In balance.

Another point is that, a single child may feel loneliness and go to the depression, it may cause health issues.

I hope that you all agree with my statement.

Thank you.
