Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has expressed concern over India’s population trends and proposed a proactive measure to address it. He suggested providing financial assistance of ₹25,000 to couples after the birth of their third child, with an additional ₹25,000 for each subsequent child.
However, the proposal has drawn criticism from the Congress party. Speaking in Parliament, Manickam Tagore questioned the rationale behind encouraging population growth in a country that is already the most populous in the world. “India is already the most populated country, and it will remain that way for decades. So there is no point in running after increasing population,” Tagore said. He emphasized the importance of quality over quantity, adding, “At a time when AI is dictating terms, it is crucial that we focus on preparing the population for future technologies rather than incentivizing higher birth rates.”
While Chandrababu Naidu argues that Andhra Pradesh should maintain at least a 5 crore population to remain substantial, Congress appears to prioritize population quality and technological readiness over sheer numbers.
