Hi,

I think increasing Population is the biggest challenge for India our population is inc day by day. There should be at least some.

Major steps which our gov. Should definitely take and these are as follows:

# Govt Should provide more and more jobs so that peoples in rural areas do not require many children to earn bread.

# Govt Should organize family planning camps and also try to aware them benefits of small family.

# Govt Should order medical shops that are in rural areas to sell contriseptic pills and other precautionary things at much lower prices to people.

# Govt Should also try to hold '' PANCHAYATS'' in rural areas and make people aware of equality of gender because.

This is also one of the biggest cause of inc. Population i.e. "BOY" they continuously give births to children until they.

Get a son.

# Govt Should also provide some special benefits to people who have one or only two children. This will encourage.

Others also to reproduce less.

# Govt Should also take strict actions against early marriages in rural areas.

# Govt Should make it compulsory for those people who have two children '' STERILIZATION '' for man or woman any.

One from the couple.

# Govt Should also encourage more and more in urban areas to ''ADOPT A CHILD '' rather than reproduce, and provide these couple some extra benefits.

These are some of the major actions/ steps that must govt of India should take if they seriously want to get INDIA rid of this big problem.

Myself Ankit.

As we know China is the most populous country In the world while India in on the second position. It is a burning issue for India. So, it has taken the form of overpopulation. So, it has become explosion for India. Now one question is arise in my mind, what is the population?

The number of people who live in fixed geographical area is cooled population. Now one question is another striking my mind is population explosion for India?

No, the population is not explosion for any state or country but over population is problem for any state or country

Now I am going to talk about the reason of increasing population,

There are so many reasons but mainly two reasons.

1) Big gap between birth rate and death rate.
2) migration.

As we know today India birth rate in approx 22 and death rate is approx 6, so there is a gap between 16. We could control the death rate by the invention of medical science, stopping wars, proper nutrition, and sanitation but we could not control birth rate due to many reasons like as,

- Lake of education
- Child marriage
- Poverty
- Religion and tradition
- Status of women is low
- Lack of government policy

Migration: Immigration is a problem in some parts of the world. If the inhabitants of various countries migrate to a particular part of the world and settle over there, the area is bound to suffer from the ill effects of overpopulation. If the rates of Immigration from a certain nation do not match the rates of immigration to that country, overpopulation makes its way. The country becomes overly populated. Crowding of immigrants in certain parts of the world results in an imbalance in the density of population.

Thank you.

Population is an asset to a country but only when that population is literate and young enough to work and take challenges. As in the case of the United States we can see that the country is not overpopulated but their working force is of comparatively older age, around 39 years, so they need a younger population. On the other hand average age of Indian population is about 22 years which is certainly a boon to the country but the bulk of this young population is illiterate which makes it useless.

HI FRIENDS,


Population explosion is the biggest problem mankind is facing today. All the other social and economical problems are directly related to increasing population. Population explosion is the biggest problem mankind is facing today. All the other social and economical problems are directly related to increasing population. Main reason of increasing population in our country is illiteracy. There is no awareness among the people of our country. What we can do to stop increase population.

1. Government must start a awareness programme in villages to reduce population.

2. Provide facilities like food, medical, education at low cost to only those families in which there are 1-2 children. Those who has more than 2 children are dismissed from the scheme.

3. Provide a education specially to girl children.

4. Government should take a help of teachers & other government employees to spread a awareness.

5. Road shows. Banners, skits, advertisement on radio, on television with the help of popular person (like icon for plus polio is mr. Amitabh bacchan) that advertisement create history we are now polio free country, may same we can experience in the case of population.

I think to control populations govt should adopt a policy of one child only it doesn't matter its a boy or a girl. By 2021 India will be very near to china in comparison of population. Friends we say why India is still the developing country. The main reason is populations. If we control our populations then.

By 2050 India populations can be declined and it will reach below African countries. If this happen then by any mean India will sure become developed country by 2050 whereas in case of china they will remain the most populated country in the world till 2040 and will also be declined below African countries.

In India up, Maharashtra, Bihar and many other states where populations is increasing tremendously, over there govt should take serious action regarding this issue and should adopt one child policy. Not more than one. If twins then it can be ignored. But more than one.

Good afternoon friends, This is B. Tarakeswara Rao. I would have to talk about population.

What is a population. Population is all the inhabitants present in particular place. We are all know India is a developing country and the growth is steady and stable. Along with India facing so many problems. In those one is population. Population explosion is due to lack of awareness in the people. In case of this growth in population we have some advantages and some more disadvantages. Coming to advantages with increase in population.

1) Availability of labour is high.
2) We get high skilled labour.
3) In war situation the country will the large people will get upper hand.

Coming to disadvantages:.

1) Lack of resources like land, oil and food Etc.
2) Lack of unemployment.

Following measures should be sought to control the population in our country:

1. Measures to increase Per-capita Income.
2. Urbanization and Industrialization.
3. Late Marriage.
4. Lowering Infant Mortality Rate.
5. Spread of Education.
6. Women education and employment.
7. Family Planning Facilities.
8. Incentives.
9. Publicity.
10. Legislation.

I am talking from my perspective, not being an Indian citizens. I am from Norway. I hope you can see it from my side please.

Do we not want to live in a world where everyone gets their needs and supplies for their families? having a life is something every soul should be able to experience. We have all seen poor people who does not have jobs, or so because they did not have money for education. Think about others for once! When you were a child you went to school and university and got a manageable job that supplies for you and your family. Those children being born today on the street in India, with a sick parent. What choice do they have? NON! Was it their fault that their mother was sexual abused and got pregnant? NO. Now imagine this child. How can the child go to school, where he/she has to get money to go to, without even having money. This child lives in a country or society that does not care about this one child. The government can not keep track on every citizens. They can't care about this child, because they don't know she/he exist! There are so many kids that are not noticed by the government because they are less worthy and poor living on the street. Some kids might be forced to ask for money on the street. Who do they get forced to do this by? Who is standing behind the wall and taking the money the kids earn right out of their hands?

All this! Has to do with the country not having control over all its people. The country is too small itself to keep as many people in it. The Planet Earth is not capable to have overpopulation. It is of course not just India having this problem, but since we are discussing India's population issue. There is a clear problem I would say, and anyone can see that somehow. I think that for the people who are poor and living on the street, think of how much better their live would be if they wouldn't have to live there. The country's population is increasing more and more. The positive impact of India is that they will get a bigger military and become the greatest country in the world. If this is what India wants then they are going in a positive direction for themselves. Though where do they get their military service from? The younger adults and kids on the street. Those mums who did not have money to serve the children she has. The children have to start working from very young ages. Most people reading this now, has someplace to live, money to care for them. When the population increases more and more, believe how many people there would be walking around. Do they have a place to live? There is known that the villages in India are to be the biggest problem. Are they the problem? If you compare them to the big cities in India, what is the difference? Big!

I just want to create a bigger awareness of what big impact the population growth have on India. It is not all negative believe me, but there are major consequences that will come! Hope you think about it, and place yourself in this one child situation born on the street.

@miss pauly.

I am totally disagreed with your opinion which says there is nothing wrong in having more children if one have enough money to bear them up with better quality. We are trying to control population so that every living individual should live in a good social and economical atmosphere. No matter how much money they have. There children will take his share of resources. So being capable of bearing up can't be seen as a reason that they don't have any responsibility in controlling population.

Hello good morning my dear friends, according to my opinion the government had done something to reduce the population but it could not actually succeed. So, I think we should implement certain laws and benefits for the people who has one child or else two.

And only implementing certain rules could not only reduce the population we should make people aware about the disadvantages of overpopulation. We should go in a groups to villages and organize awareness camps though which we can gradually reduce the population.

And excluding that we should make proper use of population (manpower). We should make use of each and every individual to improve our country's economy through which increasing population gets an advantageous issue to our country.

We must make every person to get a minimum level of education so that it could help to increase our country's economy and also reduce the population as due to proper education they get to know the disadvantages over the increase in population.

So I finally conclude that people must be made aware about the issue to promote reduce in population.

Hey friends, according to me the measures that we must take in order to control overpopulation are: Awareness should be provided to people regarding the disadvantages to over population, Illiterate people should be tought about the benefit and need of family planning, Strict rules should be made against those who don't follow the rule of max two children, Contraceptive measures should be provided for controlling population, Campaigning can also enlighten people in this direction so that they can take initiative to understand the benefit of family planning and bring it in use for controlling population.
