India, with a population of 1.27 billion, faces significant challenges due to rapid population growth, emphasizing the need for effective human population control measures. Various strategies, including increasing the legal age of marriage, promoting family planning, and enhancing education, aim to stabilize population growth and improve public health. The National Family Welfare Programme and other governmental initiatives focus on maternal and child health, reduced birth rates, and the empowerment of women to mitigate demographic pressures.
