Two Child Policy in India: A Hope or a Scope

Policy for having two children in India came in the headline about two decades ago. The policy is all about having two children but not more than two. Yes! I have seen in our society that family planning seldom works. Because people do not take any matter rigidly until it personally affects them. This is funny. Isn’t it? A question occurs here, why more child?

Reasons: Well !! The leading reason why more child is very often used in Indian society. Yes, I am talking on discrimination based on gender. The desire for son makes them bound to have more children. This is understandable that with two child, future planning became so effortless. People have excess money to spend on their children’s studies. A woman should be more important in a family but here we have usually seen the women in pathetic condition. It is very normal because the family only care about the baby who might be a male child. (If it is a male, it is a god’s gift but if it is a female than definitely the mother having some kind of problem.) these are the saying in an rural Indian family. How it is going to fix?

How is a male child important for a family? The answer is very obvious!! For the future, for the dowry, for the source of earning. These are the valid reasons I guess!! This is usually seen that how family demands for a male child. And, in the bound to have a male child most of the couples forget about such type of policies and this indicates the born of more child. We can see this issue mainly occurs in rural sectors or those people who just migrated to an urban area.

Lack of education can be a reason for this issue. There is some verbalist who still thinks only males can do the society’s welfare. These inadmissible reflections are still being ensured by some of the people. It’s very awful but a truth that our developing society is still following such illogicalness talks. In my views, the lack of education is one of the biggest factors in the growing population. Science clearly supports that the major reason for having a female or a male child is men. And I guess it may take 1 more decade to understand this universal truth.

The two children policy has its own benefits. It is not possible with more than 2 children because in that case the study is only for a male child and the female is only for all the household pieces of stuff. Equality will never exist if today we will not take a forward step toward this effective policy. Isn’t it raising the number of female feticide and other crimes with women?

For the human welfare, it is very important to explain to everyone that how this policy is beneficial for them. NGOs and our government trying to do the best from their side. You know what, some questions I would like to ask you all there, Are government and NGOs work sufficient to stop the growing population?
