India is facing intense problem of population outburst. People are experiencing the crisis such as climate change, shortage of food and also severe energy crisis that are all related to the ever-increasing population. Our civilization is being squeezed between rising population densities. The eruption of population has affected the standard of living of the people. The time has come when future citizens while in educational institutions should understand various issues related to the population problem. It has been observed that in some places, there is a shortage of drinking water, villagers started migrating to cities where they can get some water and employment.
The heavy centralization of India's family planning programmes often prevents due consideration from being given to regional differences. Centralization is encouraged to a large extent by reliance on central government funding. As a result, many of the goals and assumptions of national population control programmes do not correspond exactly with local attitudes toward birth control. In large part of India, people have strong preference for sons which leads to population growth. They have a feeling that sons will assist with farm labour as they are growing up. Son will also serve as their parents' only security in old age.
Population growth is an important issue for any country. The major concern regarding over population is that of nature and shortage of food and water. Developing countries like India should take better precaution to curb the increasing number of people as many would think that they might find opportunities in these areas because they are still yet to be developed. The government should therefore be strict with laws to limit over population without hurting the feelings of the general public.
