1. PROJECT AAKAR PHASE 2 —
A NEW POPULATION STABILIZATION PROJECT

2. “We don’t inherit the planet from our ancestors,
we borrow it from our children”- Native American Verb.
The existing generation of this planet is suffering from extreme conditions of water, air &
land pollution. This overuse of resources is led by apathy and increased stress on natural
resources led by the ever-increasing population. We need to consider overpopulation as an
alarming issue as it affects the distribution of natural resources; resources that are already
polluted and diminishing due to dense population. To overcome this situation, Mr. Pradip
Burman launched a new project on Population Stabilization

3. Current Status of Planet Earth:
Overpopulation
To have a glance at the status of India’s
population - It is one of the most densely
populated countries of the world. It must support
about 18% of the world population. However, it's
the land area that is merely 2.4% of the land area
of the world. This excess population is itself a
huge problem which leads to a lack of
consumable resources for each & every citizen of
this planet! This problem is becoming more and
more acute day by day due to the rapid increase
in population — by about 22 million people a
year! And India’s population has been growing
at a rate of 2.2% per annum. It’s high time we do
something about it!

4. Population Stabilization Project by Mr.
Pradip Burman
Mr. Pradip Burman, Chairman Mobius Foundation and a
pioneer in the area of sustainability in India, has been
actively working in line with the Government of India’s
commitment to promoting population stabilization. On
June 26, 2019, the Mobius Foundation launched Phase 2
of the project ‘AAKAR’ after the successful completion of
Phase 1 in December 2018. The project’s phase 1
covered 200 villages of two highly populated districts of
Uttar Pradesh; Baharaich and Barabanki. The focus was
on building awareness of Family Planning and various
contraceptive measures. With Phase-I, the Mobius
Foundation intended to support the efforts of the
Government of India towards FP2020 goals, population
stabilization, and to extend its support towards the “Beti
Bachao Beti Padhao” campaign.

5. Need of Population Stabilization
Taking a closer glance at the current status of
planet earth; it becomes a must to have such
population stabilization initiatives that educate
the people & make them holistically aware of the
issues caused by overpopulation. Looking at the
population numbers, it seems a huge uphill task
and even impossible to control or lessen the
population, but organizations like Mobius
Foundation are making it possible and are truly
inspiring each one of us. Controlling the
population and stabilizing it, surely looks like a
task initially but in the long run, it is a great
benefit for our one and only one planet earth.
