Dear Swapnil, You appear to have taken time in studying the subject. Allow me to pose a simple question? A country that is failing each day to provide basics like potable water, nutritious safe food or even clean air, not to forget about a human existence of living condition. Can it afford to have any further increase in population?

Shweta, Does it not look a little strange? You are only asking somebody else to give his opinion and people are supporting this request when there are so many other valid / invalid arguments.

In the present condition of increasing population competing for the same scarce resources - schools, medcines, housing etc. I think that implementing a ONC will be a step in the right direction. It has to be done by law. China for example, states that the state will not give collaborative support to the second child - support in terms of Education, Medical Care etc at the same rates as that of the first child.

One child norm is very good as now a days it has become tough to survive and provide quality education to our kids as well as if both are working it is tough to give time to kids. Which is not good for their future so it is better to have a single child.

Shweta, One child norm is better because saving the girl child problem will be sorted out to some extent. Whether it is boy/girl, one child is better. I also saw a comment from Shetal, and I feel that some composure is required in a debate. Even the most unpalatable matters can be expressed in a polite way.

One Child norm is the best suited one at this juncture. Taking the stock of the situation of the Indian Economy the so called economic growth is still a ticklish issue. And more over the interdependency of Agri and Industries is taking a different dimension which is really a worrying factor.On the domestic front, especially in the Middle Class Segment it has become an order of the day that both Husband and Wife want to earn in order to lead a very comfortable life with less burden or commitment. They are even ready to procrastinate for 4 to5 years for the 1st child. In such a compelling scenario the one child norm is the best suited policy

I support the one-child norm in India. Here are a few of the reasons: - Overpopulation -- Already India has a huge population in comparison to its size -- it covers around 2% of the land area, but it has 17% of the world's population so Indian families in general should consider the one child norm. Also, India has only 17 lakh square km (approximately) of agricultural land but more than 60 crore people have agriculture as their or their family's occupation. Obviously, this situation is terrible and the agricultural families need to follow the one-child norm and try to control population.
- Less Demand for Labour -- As technology improves, the requirement for labor will keep decreasing and instead of demographic dividend the country would have unemployed masses
- Child upbringing -- The world in which the future generation grows up will be very different from the world in which we grew up, with a lot of inflation all around, and cash-intensive technology and education(especially looking at how school fees have been rising) playing a major role. Therefore, it is better for the parent's incomes to be channeled for the needs of the single child, given that even with a single child, it would be tough to provide the cash resources for giving the technological and educational advantages.

I support this norm without any hesitation. Only some sections of people are following the family planning norms. Others are not at all worrying about population explosion. They have their own calculations. India with a population of about 120 crores is going to surpass China in population within a decade or two. This is an alarming situation. Be a girl child or a boy one is enough. Or at the most two shall be the higher side. We the Indians are emotional fools. We dont understand the effects of population explosion. We rarely go for rational thinking.

Mr.Sarveswarrao ji , one child norm to control the population..........but single child growing up in nuclear family, where parents will have only few quality time to spend with them............they need a friend to play,fight and express their feeling, which they cannot express with their parents or outside family.if they won't have a brother or sister in most of the cases u can see ,the only child will have the problem in their behaviour........... one child is ok, but their behaviour also matter's is in it.

Hi Team, I strongly oppose the ONC. We are thinking to implement the norm on following points. Economic Conditions:As we have observed that many voices in debate are talking about the economic conditions in India are bit tough which is forcing people to made decision about the OCN. In my view this should not be the case. I would not be commenting on better parenting issues, however in the world where we can see that families being apart and trend of a joint family is becoming sidelined. Main concern all over India is competition, Increasing Cost of living, lack of family support. I personally experienced the benefits to be raised in a joint family which are beyond explanation. It gives direction to your life, how is your upbringing. In my view ONC is just an excuse to have nucleus families. Social Bonding:- Families having more than one child have seen good understanding,love and are affectionate towards others. No matter if both childrens fight on pity issues when together; however if there is a third person outside the family then both childrens are united. Having more than one child in family helped to have a family bonding, teaches us about caring your loved ones. Equally participating in all festivals and carries the tradition of family. Male/Female ratio This is one of the important factor to be noted as it is one of scary fact that female ratio being declined in India. Lot of social aspects are involved with this which would make the situation worse than ever if OCN is applied. We honor the issues related to increasing population in country. Having said that other aspects of creating a healthy and balanced social system can be achieved with mutual understanding and raising families with more than one child. In all ONC will surely create more imbalance in social structure which empower anti social elements within socity. We can say that ONC seems to be urge for an hour which is very strategic to be implemented in India and requires careful collocation. Please let me know your views team.

The effort to produce and reproduce is under the control of the couple's sexual activity, but to decide on the outcome of it should not be in their control. God decides whether you have a one-man army or an army by itself. One child norm do not necessarily solve the save-a-girl-child problem. You can have one child policy and lose the opportunity of giving birth to a girl child, the potential second child. (Result: You lost the girl child) One child norm may seem advantageous in terms of population control but in the process, remember that we are getting in the way of how nature functions leading to serious repurcussions emotionally.

Without prejudice to anybody. Now we know why India is slated to become the No.1 country in terms of population. And also the reason for Tsunamis and Earthquakes.

one child norm is not at all good...why because if there is only one child, that child will never get the opportunity to learn sharing, bonding..and relational and social values... it will also effect India's future workable population...that means manpower will available will be reduced... At the time we face this problem the youth available will be the one lacking the social bondings..that will surely dip India as a country and its culture...

This world is created by God and He desires he gives one or more children to a woman and who we are to stop this and go against God. God balances this world with His own planing and we can not ignore this. He can balance the population with a single big tsunami or earth quake because He is the biggest planner.

China had vigorously one child norm over a number of years to contain its growing population and see the average age of china is above 60+. Now that country is encouraging for more than one child in order to have young work force. One mouth to feed two hands to work should guide the planning to overcome the population measures. Any nation should plan to make use of the work force available to it especially the young work force.

Has anybody made a norm like this? I have not heard. Planning your family is a fundamental right of a human being in any country. Just like right to live, right to earn a living, right to education. So, how a norm can be fixed for such sensitive issues. Govt., NGO and social organizations can promote awareness drive of 2 child per family. Strict adhering to the 2 child policy will replace the people and stabilize the population to o% growth. But this may be done by educating people and wareness programmes. Making norm is out of question

Hey, On what pretext, you desire to introduce this norm - Is the Govt. come forward to as a statutory requirement? In China, Hotel booking is free one child & parents. If you have one more, you need to pay extra.
- To curb the population growth as competing with China.
- Resource are very scanty that individual unable to manage the family affair.
- Feel that India's Human Resources are useless & not eking out anything for the country.

Thanks Shweta for referral. I partially agree with you and one child policy will give our country food security in future. The government should give huge incentive for every girl child and monitor the progress and if need be change this with two child policy.

Just think. If you are the only child of your parents, whom will you turn to when you are in trouble? With whom will you share your joys and sorrows? Who will come to your aid when you or your family (wife and children) are in trouble? Dont tell me - friends and other relatives. In their list, you will be way down in their priority list. They have other pressing problems - of their family members and siblings. So one child norm - a big NO. And the alternative? Two child. Not more. They will grow up with each other very closely and we can be at peace that there is one other shoulder for them in the future after we are no more. I am not just preaching. I am a practisioner of this philosopphy.
