<br/><br/> India's population growth since Independence has considerably neutralised the gains of economic development. Population growth beyond optimum levels tends to pose a whole range of vexed problems before individuals, society and the state. India is a glaring case in point. As the country's performance in the area of population control has been much less than targeted or expected, the government has to formulate a more rigorous and harsher policy to exercise restraint over ever-increasing population; otherwise, the country would not be able to cope with the consequent social, political and economic problems. - Reproduced.
