The root cause for most of the ills of our country has perhaps been our alarmingly rising population. Be it unemployment, poverty, price rise, crime, corruption, congestion, scarcity, underdevelopment, or anything else- all these evils are badly related to abnormal size of our population. No doubt we have become one of the largest economies of the world, our gross domestic products are increasingly becoming one of the highest in the world, but when the per capita availability of goods and services is concerned, our position goes very low. We get very low rank in the matter of global indices like economic development index, human development index, etc. But unluckily we reach the top position in the indices of hunger, corruption, etc. All these maladies are somehow or other deeply rooted in our unmanageable population. But the irony is that population planning programme has got down the agenda of both union and state governments in order to appease their vote bank. The government hopes that the citizens of the country will voluntarily limit the size of their families which in reality cannot happen so soon. And by the time it will happen, much harm would have been done to the nation.
