Over the last few months, Andhra Pradesh CM Nara Chandrababu Naidu has been fretting over the decrease in child growth in the state and has been constantly urging the citizens of AP to give up the ‘one child’ policy and have more than one child per home.Babu made this request even during the recently concluded UNICEF event on child nutrition in the capital. In the time when the Modi’s government is taking all the measures to control the population growth, Babu’s request did surprise many. But Babu has a point here.
In the UNICEF event, Babu termed children as the “future assets of the country” and that the age-old family planning norm of ‘one child per home’ is no longer relevant in the present days and that it’s time to make way for ‘one or more children per home’ policy.
The statistics Babu revealed later made everyone to sit up and take notice the CM’s worries about the depleting numbers of kids in the state. Babu said that according to the latest census, birth rate in AP is 17.5% while the overall population is growing at a rate of 1%.Babu further gave examples of how developed nations like China and Japan are facing issues with the growing numbers of ageing citizens while the number of youngsters is becoming less.
