No sufficient water, food scarcity and everything is short by the increasing of population.
In 1947, partition brought for India a very little cultivable land and millions of mouths to fed. From the every moment of independence, it was realized that India is an over populated country. According to 1981 census, India’s population comes around 68.38 crores. Now the India’s population is above.100
The alarming and incessant growth of population is causing serous economic problems. The more people will be the harder will be to feed them all. This only reason why, in spite of a good crop. the country has to important good grains. Whatever progress our country makes every year is eaten up by the increasing population.
Employment opportunities are created, but population increase much more than them. The direct result is irregularity in the distribution of income and geared up poverty.
There are many reasons why India could not firmly put a check on the population explosion, the main among these is people’s religious beliefs. Some people have this superstitious belief child birth is a god’s gift and hence `the more the merrier it will be’.
Secondly, a large part of India’s population lives in rural areas ignorant and uneducated of their role in making up the society. They largely depend on agriculture and feel that large the family, more help will be to their profession. It gives birth to disguised unemployment. Then, an Indian, be he an urban or rural –has inherent desire to have a son. And in the hope of getting a male child-people keep multiplying themselves.
Child marriage and early marriage are also some of the customs, which make it hard for government to control birth rate. Although the government is trying its best to propagate the idea of birth control it will impregnate with results only when every individual Indian becomes aware of is duty towards the society.
The importance of family planning cannot be negated in our country. If we want to be prosperous ad self-sufficient each individual must voluntarily follow the concept of family planning and birth control.
