Abstract

India is the second most populous country in the World, with over 1.21 billion people (2011 census), more than a sixth of the world’s population. Already containing 17.5% of the world’s population, India is projected to be world’s most populous country by 2025, surpassing China, its population reaching 1.6 billion by 2050. The overpopulation in India has engulfed almost all our achievement in industrial growth, agricultural production, supporting services like medical care, housing, transport, education etc.It is the time to reflect on population trends and related issues. Improving the status of women and supporting conditions like affordable access to range of contraceptives options could be the most effective solution to slow the growth of population. Both the factors certainly would contribute to delayed births, gaps between the two births and small families. To stabilize the population it is very important to create universal access to family planning which can be achieved by involving each and every stakeholder who can contribute.
