This document summarizes India's population policies from the pre-independence period up until the Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-2012). It notes that in the pre-independence period, the British showed indifference to population issues. After independence, the First Five Year Plan (1951-1956) introduced family planning programs. Subsequent plans emphasized reducing birth rates and increasing access to healthcare. The National Population Policy of 1976 aimed to raise the marriage age and promote women's education. The Ninth Five Year Plan adopted the National Population Policy of 2000, aiming to reduce fertility rates and achieve zero population growth by 2045. The Tenth and Eleventh Plans continued implementing previous policies and targets.

After independence the first objective of Indian government was economic and social development. In economic and social development, government focus on to create the choices for the people to enhance the wellbeing of the population.
In 1952 India was first country in the world who launch the family planning program to decrease the birth rates.
A positive population policy which aims at reducing the birth rate and ultimately stabilising the growth rate of population.
In India, where the majority of people are illiterate, fatalist, and custom-ridden, and do not believe in family planning, only the government’s initiative can help in controlling population growth.
India is the most populous country in the world with one-sixth of the world's population.
The estimated total population in India amounted to approximately 1.42 billion people.
The current population of India is 1,433,840,754 as of Friday, November 24, 2023.

Mechanism of Plate Tectonics and Resultant LandformsMithun Ray
Plate tectonics is a scientific theory that explains how major landforms are created as a result of Earth’s subterranean movements. The theory transformed the earth sciences by explaining many phenomena, including mountain building events, volcanoes, and earthquakes.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

5. Population Policy in Pre-Independence
Period (Before 1947)
Before independence, the Britishers did not consider population growth as a problem
Their attitude towards birth control was one of indifference because they never wanted
to interfere with the values, beliefs, customs and traditions of Indians. That is why this
phase is called the Period of Indifference.
The intelligensia in India was aware of the problem of growing population and did
advocate birth control. Among them P.K. Wattal was the pioneer who wrote a book on
Population Problem in India in 1916, followed by R.D. Karve, Rabindranath Tagore,
M.K.Gandhi, P.N. Sapru, Jawaharlal Nehru and Bhore Committee among others who
advocated birth control.
6. The period following independence and before the beginning
of the planning era was one of neutrality. The Government of
India was busy with the post-independence problems like
rehabilitation of the people following the Partition,
reorganisation of the States and Pakistan’s invasion of Kashmir.
However, at one of the meetings of the Planning Commission
in 1949, Jawaharlal Nehru laid emphasis on the need for family
planning programme in India.
