Hi friends, population control is not a one day project by a single hand. We are sitting in a chair in pool which water level is increasing. Is it safe! Someone in high level and someone low level height chair but the water surly sink everyone of us. The effect of population growth already affected low class people, increasing price of products like milk, bus ticket, land rate, fuel and more. They are lacking of education. Okay these are effect of population.

How to control this?

Education is main root, government should include the affects of population in the textbooks of school and colleges. And make some special camp for every 3 months for family planning. And we should be strongly act mature. The rate of population growth of India is 1.9 per annum where china is 0.93 per annum. India will be in no. 1 in population by 2030.

Majority of the people on this group are firm believers of the fact that our population is indeed one of the biggest threat that our nation is facing. With advances in health care and technology, we certainly have won the battle against infant mortality and many other ailments, but on the other side, we have failed miserably in checking the birth rate. And so now, we are adding Australia (in terms of population) every year.

Also, unlike China, where the one child policy has been implemented properly with proper follow up, it is impossible to implement the same as India consists of a large number of religions and being a democratic country, it has to take under consideration the interests of all the different religions and groups. So, in my opinion, we only have one option left, i.e. creating awareness. That is the only possible, viable solution to this problem. Big companies and industries can include awareness programs about the family planning in their CSR activities. Also, govt should make people aware about the same through different broadcasting mediums and I am sure that just like the case of polio, Govt can do wonders in this arena too.

One child policy was a policy introduced in 1979 to control population of China. China also claimed that it was successful in implementing the policy. India being the 2nd most populous country in the world should also adopt these methods to see growth rate in the economy. The china has seen the growth rate by implementing this policy.

Also if there is more population than more consumption of natural resources and there is limited resources so we should conserve natural resources by implementing one child policy.

Now a day pollution become one of the biggest issue which is the result of more population, if there will less population than there will less pollution which is coming out from vehicles as a result people's will more healthy. One can think that Vehicles pollution can be controlled by using CNG but CNG is not available in bulk mass so there is no option other than decreasing population.

At last I would like to say that one day must come when Indian government must have to implement one child policy so, it is better to implement as soon as possible so that this generation can come out of home without wearing mask.

Good Morning Friends,

According to my point of view, Population will be increasing continuously in our country. Because of the reason not that much of awareness among the peoples. Educated people knows increasing about the population growth in our country. So each and every person will know about the growth of people. So we can control and prevent the increasing the growth of population.

Thanking You.

Well of course people in villages (and "huge" cities) shouldn't bother to use "family planning. " Let human life spread freely. More and more people would be glad to live. When people live the poor and simple life, children don't cost much money, for parents can't spend money they don't have. Birthing babies is a natural life process, just as natural and proper, as the heart beating or breathing.

Contraceptives have terrible side effects, so people are right to be wary of Big Pharma contraceptive potions and poisons, and to refuse to use them.

Encourage large families worldwide, so that far more people can experience life.

Hi friends,

I have written essay letter regarding "Increasing of population and it's disadvantages" in my 10th class around 22 Years ago. Till now there won't be much difference in this front. Those days also I have seen TV advertisement regarding population control. Plans are there for population control, but where we have failed is at implementation level. Our government is so negligence they haven't take any strong action against that. Government should give good benefits to those families who are following family planning. For them we should provide free education, some cash benefits and free hospitalization etc and the same should be advertised frequently in our cities and villages. So that people will feel what advantages we get if we control our family.

Today if you go to railway station or bus stand or any mall or market or even hospital every where you feel very difficult to get into only because large crowed. If I go to the temple I could not even pray for 5 minutes then what is the point to go to the temple by so many hours in standing in the long queue. Here we can't blame to any one except ourselves and our week systems. So, here we should not blame to the government only, we should blame ourselves also for creating such a large populated country 130 crores +.

Thanks.

One child policy is against human right. In a Democratic country like India, it is not possible to apply this policy.

Moreover, one child policy does not see the way substantial result in the growth rate of the economy. Indeed it may lead to a decline in the future growth rate.

I read all of your's comment but don't ya'all think that ya'all are speaking the same thing that the population due to illiteracy and villagers ideology and bla bla. But for a second thing about the ranking off most populated countries. I mean India is second most populous country and if all the people think that is the main obstacle for development of India than what about china.

If we had to judge a countries development scale on the basis of the population than china should have been the least developed country in Asia but on contrary it is the most developed country in Asia instead of its high population. It is only because of efficiency of the government, its ruling ability and plan execution that develops a country.

The population may have effected the development scale but the main reason is corruption not population. In-fact population can also be treated as an asset for it makes the competition tougher and brings out the best. So, population is definitely a bane but not to the development, it has only been degraded due to inefficacy of the government in India.

According to me, what I believe is Government cannot force people to have less children. There needs to be initiative from educated & understanding people who need to educate & impart other literate & illiterate people to set their mind frame in economic point of view. It could take a time but the ultimate results would solve our problems.

Increasing population in India has become a very big problem. To reduce this problem everyone should take part in the awareness programmes. I don't mean that everyone should waste their time and do campaign but we should atleast try to create awareness among the people who are around us.
