Do You Think Indian Politician Should Impose Ban On Population Growth ?

I think it is horrible! In this case or any, where the government puts their hands on my body. They should allow people to have as many children as they want. Who are they to control that?

Hi Ganesh , India already has had Family Planning since early 1960 s . In fact , India was one of the first countries to do so . However;this Policy has not been effective in all parts of the country . While states like Kerela , Maharashtra , Gujarat , Punjab , Tamilnadu have been more into implementing this Policy , some states have lagged behind .Also rural areas have been behind in this respect .It needs much more social awareness as well as Women emancipation to bring a change in this . More on this : ' Population growth has long been a concern of the government, and India has a lengthy history of explicit population policy. In the 1950s, the government began, in a modest way, one of the earliest national, government-sponsored family planning efforts in the developing world. The annual population growth rate in the previous decade (1941 to 1951) had been below 1.3 percent, and government planners optimistically believed that the population would continue to grow at roughly the same rate. Implicitly, the government believed that India could repeat the experience of the developed nations where industrialization and a rise in the standard of living had been accompanied by a drop in the population growth rate. In the 1950s, existing hospitals and health care facilities made birth control information available, but there was no aggressive effort to encourage the use of contraceptives and limitation of family size. By the late 1960s, many policy makers believed that the high rate of population growth was the greatest obstacle to economic development. The government began a massive program to lower the birth rate from forty-one per 1,000 to a target of twenty to twenty-five per 1,000 by the mid-1970s. The National Population Policy adopted in 1976 reflected the growing consensus among policy makers that family planning would enjoy only limited success unless it was part of an integrated program aimed at improving the general welfare of the population. The policy makers assumed that excessive family size was part and parcel of poverty and had to be dealt with as integral to a general development strategy. Education about the population problem became part of school curriculum under the Fifth Five-Year Plan (FY 1974-78). Cases of government-enforced sterilization made many question the propriety of state-sponsored birth control measures, however. During the 1980s, an increased number of family planning programs were implemented through the state governments with financial assistance from the central government. In rural areas, the programs were further extended through a network of primary health centers and subcenters. By 1991, India had more than 150,000 public health facilities through which family planning programs were offered (see Health Care, this ch.). Four special family planning projects were implemented under the Seventh Five-Year Plan (FY 1985-89). One was the All-India Hospitals Post-partum Programme at district- and subdistrict-level hospitals. Another program involved the reorganization of primary health care facilities in urban slum areas, while another project reserved a specified number of hospital beds for tubal ligature operations. The final program called for the renovation or remodelling of intrauterine device (IUD) rooms in rural family welfare centers attached to primary health care facilities. Despite these developments in promoting family planning, the 1991 census results showed that India continued to have one of the most rapidly growing populations in the world. Between 1981 and 1991, the annual rate of population growth was estimated at about 2 percent. The crude birth rate in 1992 was thirty per 1,000, only a small change over the 1981 level of thirty-four per 1,000. However, some demographers credit this slight lowering of the 1981-91 population growth rate to moderate successes of the family planning program. In FY 1986, the number of reproductive-age couples was 132.6 million, of whom only 37.5 percent were estimated to be protected effectively by some form of contraception. A goal of the seventh plan was to achieve an effective couple protection rate of 42 percent, requiring an annual increase of 2 percent in effective use of contraceptives.

Hi Ganesh, I wouldnt be surprised if it dosent become a worldwide action of law for everyone, everywhere....things are not what they were. Over population coupled with less resources...there will have to be population control, it looks envitable for the entire world....

Hi Ganesh, Family planning is already implemented in India. Now most of the states in India are successful in controlling birth. But some parts of our country, people are not bothered and even no knowledge about the birth control. They simply think that a baby is a gift of God and when God gives it, should be received with open mind. In fact those people are illiterate. So, in my opinion the government should first start work on the education of people. In other words they should remove the illiteracy first. Educated people automatically think wisely and they can understand the disadvantages if population increases. So there is no need of any ban!

Hi Ganesh44, Yes your country should impose the law o having two child to a couple, there far too many people are starving in your country, we get the new all the time over here and children are suffering. Tamara

There should be some rules imposed to prevent population growth, especially in India where it is highly populated. Those who are in need are usually those who have more children every year, which the government should look into. They could provide adult education and more for the populace so that proper steps would be taken to ensure family planning or some sort of control.

Hi!! I am a chinese man!I live in shandong province!The population in our province is very large!Our country has carried out the family planing policy for 30 years! The increase rate of population is low down!Now I want to ask you friend how many children do you want to have?? In china ,in the mind of the young people,do not want to have more children.Even some young people do not want to have baby.That because we should earn more money to support children.The parent should earn money support children to go to shcool ,to find the girlfriend.to chose work ,to solve the problem they encounter in the work! So ,at present ,It's the economic and socail environment influence our action to have baby.The policy is only the assistant power! Do you believe me??
