The more children families in poverty have, the harder it is for them to get out of poverty. I am australian and am living in India for one year. I may be wrong, but I think the poverty and population in India is too long gone to do anything about it. It would require billions of dollars to change anything in india, and with a corrupt government, this will never happen. Im sorry to say it, but I don't think anything is going to change in India. Poverty will always be here. The only way I see it changing is to impose a 1 child law, and if people have more than 1 then they have to pay a large fine.

Hi, friends :.

I think that the biggest reason behind the so much population of India is poverty and illetrecy. Because poor people thought if they will have more children then their children will support them when they will become young because more children will earn more. And due to illetercy the village person thought if they have more children then everyone will affraid from them and no one will take mess from them.

And other reason is marriage in childhood because in India many person get marry in their childhood so obviously they will have more children. So our government should make such type of rule such that no one can get married before 25-30 years and no one can have more than two children. Then we will be able to control the population.

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.

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.

Yeah I agree with you all friends. Of course population is the main cause or the main obstacle in development of any country, we should make remember all the people about population, that what are the disadvantages of overpopulation & how we can control it. But we don't have to blame the people who lives in villages becoz, they are making production & that is why we are able to eat food. So don't blame them & start parking precautions by yourself own.

Over- population has become a major problem for India. As we know India is a developing country not a developed country till now. To become a developed country the country needs its citizens support and understanding. In today's scenario we can see that the country is getting over populated and the citizens are not able to meet all their requirements as resources are limited which leads the country to poverty and the other reason would be illiteracy. As people are not aware about family planning they go on giving birth to number of children which leads to over population.

Now a days Indian population is too concern and too hot topic for us, how do control it, and how do change our mentally for those who believe that without boys can't survive our family but we should breach the that mentality. If we want to do for our family and our nation.

Hi Friends, our nation population is increasing day by day. People who are living in backward areas unaware about the family planning. They think child is gift of God how can we stop that to do. We should arrange family planning program for that kind of people. Hows small family is good for them and our country. People in small villages and in backward areas are generally uneducated. We should arrange education for them after that they will analyze the benefit of small family. India is a developing country not developed country. For their development large population is really a big hurdle or obstacle. Everyone must be aware of that.

I think if we want to control the Indian population we should main focus on education, and government to should make a rule that nobody can marry before 27 for men and 25 for women and also give subsidized for less children.
