Abstract

The article presents a detailed discussion regarding India's problem about coping up about family planning. It mentions that since India was predicted to have a large population at the turn of the century, which will be around one billion people, it is necessary that they should implement the methods of birth control to avoid the catastrophe of overpopulation. It mentions that India's population is more than that of the United States and USSR combined. It explains that the idea of birth control is not the first priority for India because essential needs are the primary focus of the country.
