What shall we do about our Ever-Increasing Population?

Population explosion is severe problem of our country. India secured 2 nd rank in population list.

Population increase leads to unemployment, Poverty, decrease in nonrenewable resource, decreasing GDP, Low per capita income etc.

The root cause of the issue is illiteracy. Village or poor people still think that they will have more children, children will support them when they will become young and more children means more money. They also feel that If they have more children, people will afraid from them and they will not mess or screw up their life.

In order to overcome ever increasing population issue, following measure must be undertaken:.

1). Policy of two kids must be taken seriously. Serious or legal action should be taken against those who violate the rules. The one who abide the rule must be charged 40 % income tax.

Flexibility should not be supported event for people who earned enough regarding producing more people only because they are able to bear up. Population control should be responsibility of each individual then only we can have control over it.

2). Government should organize or conduct more awareness program specially for people in village to make them understand about the disadvantage and effect of population explosion issue. We or govt should take Stringent action over illiteracy. Government should work towards better education system so that at least basic education should be provided to everyone in the country.

3). Awareness regarding family planning should be created among people with the help of media.

4). Contraceptive measure should be explain through different ads or advertisement in the tv or radio etc with the help of doctors or popular personality like Amitabh bachchan. We all know that he pulse polio advertisement by amitabh created history and we can expect the same again.

Over-population is one of the major social problem in India. Social evils like poverty, unemployment, child marriage, child labor, etc. All are directly or indirectly related to over- population. I as a student of social work find a lot of cases on the social evils which can be ultimately related with the increasing population.

The Government of India has taken many important steps to control the population so that it does not result to "POPULATION EXPLOSION" and has succeeded to an extent but not to the expectations. I think just making rules, laws, regulation etc will not do; there should be someone so that they can go to the fields and make the people aware. Grass-root Community Development is very important which will ultimately result in NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

We must make all the citizens aware about problems caused by increasing population and we must encourage people to overcome such problems by stopping rapid growth for population for just a male child.

The main reason of increasing population is illiteracy, unwanted sex, poverty, unemployment etc. The government have to give education about this problems. Especially poor peoples, the feel that producing more kids can remove their poverty. The feel that more child can earn more money, and some enjoy sex but not safely.

They don't use condoms, and produce unwanted kids. Some times peoples sold the kid to other people for child trafficking like child labour, servants in home of other, workers in the hotels and restaurant. I just wanna one thing that please be aware about growing population otherwise it can create so much of problems for the coming generation.

Thank you.

India is a very large populated country. According to me, the measures that would be taken must be little different.

1. The people who have 2 or less than 2 children will be given a job and food for their family. The financial problem should be taken care.
2. The government must promise that those children will be given scholarship till they become an educated person.
3. Different ads should be provided on TV, posters and so on.
4. Advertisement should be given for family planning.
5. Problems in having large families should be explained to them.
6. Quota should be provided.
7. Contraceptive measures should be explained.

Hello friends, My name is Krishna. Day by day our country's population is increasing. Mainly of illiteracy, lack of awareness on sex. The Government should provide awareness of population, what happens if population increases what are the disadvantages happens with examples they should give clear explanations to all by social media, by Advertisements.

Like example: Now a days in India there is a lack of rice, water, underwater too, and last but not least Jobs.

Thank you.

Hello friends,

Main reason of increasing population in our country is illiteracy. There is no awareness among the people of our country. They don't know the side effect of raising of population. We are second place country after china and till 2050 we will held 1st place which is harmful for our economy.

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 agree with most of the views shared. As per the existing growth trend, India's population will stabilize by 2050. Already, India is home to most of the poor of the world besides Sub Saharan Africa. Our cities are becoming slums. Water bodies are contaminated making drinking water scarcity. Other issues like food, school education, transport, medical care all are adversely strained due to population explosion.

Irrespective of such visible consequences, any deeply concerted effort has not been taken so far. Population growth rate has been declining at a natural slow pace based on the upliftment of education level in generations. I believe there lies an immense potential, if we follow seriously a following multi-pronged outcome driven approach:

1) Besides enhancing reach of basic education, there is a need to impart adult education so that people enjoy their sex lives without increasing population.

2) Birth rate need to be contained particularly in rural areas of developing states, and for this, there is a need to arrest the infant/child deaths so that people feel secure after having single child.

3) People in rural areas need to be actively engaged in debate and implementation of family planning policies.

4) Government should provide lucrative incentives to families having single child.

5) District Officers should be provided target to contain population and on achievements they should be publicly recognized/awarded.

6) Media should come foreword by showing good & bad examples/cases and its consequences.

Hi myself Ajit.

Population is the number of occupants in a particular place. In India it is becoming a major problem. India is now second highest Populated country In the country but if population growth would not reduced than in 2030 it will become the most populated country.

The major problems arises due to overpopulation is lack of resources, poverty, unemployment and many more. In my opinion Education is the most imp way to prevent overpopulation. People should know the consequences of over population. Government should start some programmes or lectures on overpopulation to awake the generation specially in rural areas. They should be provided free contraceptive helps.

According to me, Population is the major problem we are facing today. It is one of the major cause which restricts the economic development and unemployment problem in our country. Awareness should be given to rural people. Illiteracy should be avoided. Educated minds will know the arising problems and they will insist about the need for the control of population. Government should take steps to control population.

There is a proverb that "Rome cannot be built in a day". So, population growth cannot be controlled within a day. Human resources are necessary for development. But it it is in excess it may cause problems. It should be kept in mind.
