The rate of birth is shooting up alarmingly. Tiny villages have become bustling towns. The cities are bursting with people. The trains and buses are overcrowded. Schools and colleges are teeming with pupils. Dramatic growth since1950 to the present day and forecast to continue to 8.9 billion, 9.2 billion, 9.5 billion or perhaps even 11 billion by 2050. In short, a population explosion has set in.

This population explosion is due to various causes. Medical science has increased the longevity of people. Dreadful diseases have been effectively controlled. Preventive vaccines have bought down the death rate among infants. No wonder, our globe is wobbling with the burden of overcrowding.

The population explosion is the root of many other problems. Though production is stepped we are unable to feed the surging crowds of humanity. The rate of reproduction outstrips the rate of production. Hence all our schemes fall flat. The nation is unable to provide employment to everyone. Are you ready to fact it?

The population growth should be checked at any cost. Family welfare schemes should be popularized through films. Job opportunities and allowances should be given to celibates. The happiness of a small family should be taught to the villagers. The aversion to family planning devices should be dispelled.
