What is Wrong with the Family Planning Program in India
The current demographic realities of India are different and the traditional remedy of sterilization is longer the right remedy. Today population momentum is the leading cause of population growth. Now the population battle must be fought on the social plain; not in the clinics. Continue reading
History and Politics of Population Phobia
Development is the most effective form of “contraceptive” for all developing nations. This has been the guiding principle for all population planners after the ICPD (Cairo, 1994). It forcefully connected population with development and transformed the “population problem” into a “development problem” inclusive of human rights and gender equality.

This large young base can be a “demographic dividend” if properly utilized as a productive workforce, else it will only add numbers to the vast pool of poor in the country. Under the current scenario, Indian population will stabilize only after 2050 at around 1.65 billion. Continue reading

Why Population of India Does not Stop Growing?
The population of India is growing at the pace of about 1.4% per year, adding almost 18 million headcount. The current fertility rate is around 2.3 and declining quite fast. It should reach the replacement level of about 2.1 by 2020. Early (child) marriages and unintended pregnancies are two major reasons of the growth. It is expected that Indian population should stabilize around 2050 at about 1.6 billion. Continue reading
