Today I am going to raise an issue which can be called SWEET IRRITATION for our country.It is about POPULATION EXPLOSION.
Whenever a child is born in our country, it appears as if the happiness of whole world has arrived an our family as a PIOUS SOUL in a small body.But have we ever thought how many children are born every minute in our country?A data says that EVERY MINUTE 25 CHILDREN ARE BORN in registered hospitals and health centers of our country.This data DON'T INCLUDE births at homes and unregistered health centers.Another alarming data says that by 2030 INDIA WILL SUCCEED CHINA IN POPULATION which is now the most populous country of the world.
Now let us see why rapid population growth should be taken so seriously.
1.We can easily see that so called big khandans 50 years ago have now turned into small labor class families.
2.The increasing no. of frustrated unemployed youth is also a major problem
3.Due to conversion of agricultural lands into residential area has also affected food grains production.
4.It is root cause of all kinds of pollution and UNRECOVERABLE LOSS TO BIODIVERSITY.
Now let us see what are its root causes.Belief in illiterate population that they will be more prosperous if they will have more children.Other reasons are more accessible health care facilities,religional beliefs etc.Moreover there is a religion in India in which polygamy is very common and most of the followers of that religion have children in two digits.Although there are exceptions but EXCEPTION DOES NOT PROVE THE RULE.
The solution to this problem is to create awareness and to stick to 1 FAMILY 1 CHILD PRINCIPLE
Lastly I beg pardon from those who got hurt from this post. more
