Laudable move of Assam govt. to control population
Assam government has approved a proposal to insist that each family in the state should have not more than two children. The proposal of the Assam government is to deny several privileges to those bearing more than two children including the denial of state government jobs. They cannot contest in the local body elections.
This is a much needed step and Government of Assam deserves compliments for this bold and laudable initiative.
India’s population which was around 35 crore in 1950 is now around 130 crore. While it is gratifying that the longevity of Indians have much improved from 35 years to 65 years in the last 70 years due to advancement in medical science, the fact is that the birth rate has not significantly fallen.
While the production of agricultural products like rice, wheat , sugarcane etc. and several industrial products have increased enormously in the last 70 years, this is still not found to be adequate since the population has increased to an alarming level. This cannot go on. India will not be able to meet the needs of such huge population in the future ,with the national population continuing to further increase at around 1.5% per annum.
India is now paying a very big price due to it’s huge population growth and control of population is a pre condition for India to emerge as a strong world power and maintain harmony and peace in the country.
In such circumstances, the government of Assam has shown the way for the country by proposing the population control in the state
It is necessary that the government of India should emulate the lead given by the Assam government in checking the population growth.
India should be grateful to Assam government and it’s Chief Minister for recognizing this grave issue , which gives hopes that there are government and leadership in the state which can be purposive and bold in taking measures of far reaching significance.
