The govt has realised that high inflation rate reduces the effectiveness of economic growth. Now, another factor which does the same is the huge population of India. Indian population is suppossed to overtake that of China in 2035. That would be a collective failure of the Indian govt and the govt should wake up now to work proactively to reduce the population growth rate of the country. Condoms should be easily and freely available to all and proper communication campaigns should be undertaken to educate all about the benefits of a small family and results should be monitored closely.

Actually, what a government would do in order to discourage population growth is what most Western civilizations already are doing. 1. They subsidize old age in the form of pensions, social security, standardized retirement ages, etc. This reduces the economic benefit of having a larger family who would contribute to the parents' support after the parents can no longer work. 2. Institute compulsory learning establishments (public schools) to combat the natural bond that occurs when children grow and lean by watching, and mimicking their parents. 3. Freely inflate the money supply, thereby destroying savings and forcing their citizens to rely more heavily on the aforementioned government programs for support.

Ways To Reduce Population Growth

What should the govt do to reduce population growth?? Nothing. It's not government's business to do that. Larger forces actually control that - realistically, it's outside of the scope and power of government to effectively do much about it. There are other things that govt can do to help ease social discord, etc. but this is not one of them

i think individual person need to pay attention towards this topic. People with modern thinking can take a decision like not to give birth to their old child, instead they can adopt children

the best way is to kill off large portions of the population - start a war with another nation or nations, accadently release poisonous gas over the most populous cities, or create modified germs. etc. - it might not be the most ethical but you didn't ask for that.
