Wain 772-1331 OPEN FRIDAY NIGHTS 'TIL 9 formerly c. sive population growth ha3 put on food resources worries planners. Former census regis trar R. A. Gopalaswami plac ed food grains requirements for a population of 520 million at a minimum of 108 million tons per year. Allowing for a population of 480 million by 1966, a Ford Foundation agricultural pro duction team, reporting in 1059, fixed a 100 to 110 mil lion tons requirement of food grains. The team warned that oo the basis of a 3.2 per cent yearly rate of increase record ed between 1952 and 1959, the annual gap between supply and demand as of 1966 would be 28 million tons. Team Comment Edgar T. Hoover and Ans ley J. Coale of the Ford Foun dation team commented: "No conceivable program of im ports or rationing could meet a crisis of this magnitude." The team indicated that even a downward trend in the birth rate beginning as soon as 1966 may be too late to permit in creased living standards. India's birth rate during the second development plan period (1956-1961) was 40.7 per 1,000, against a death rate of 1.6 per 1,000. The director of the Indian Institute of Population Studies Dr. Sripati Chan drasekhar, said recently on the All India Radio: "If all the health projects contained in India's third (development) plan are completed, the 21.6 per 1,000 death rate will reg ister even a further decline. 520 Million "While this may be ex tremely welcome from the humanitarian point of view, it is estimated India's popu lation can reach the unman ageable figure of 520 million by 1971." The increase in India's pop ulation has been phenomenal. Between 1871 - when the first rather incomplete census was taken - and 1921, the popula tion in the country increased from 214 to 248 million, a rather small increase for half a century. But between 1921 and 1951, more than 100 millions were added to the population. While the decisive factor behind the explosion is the de cline In India's death rate there are other significant socio-economic reasons that account. lor the tremendous increase. Almost everyone in India, sooner or later, usually soon er, gets married. Is Duty Marriage is not merely a social institution but a semi religious duty in the country. Hindus believe girls should be married before puberty. The necessity of having a son to perform the "Shradha" (puri fication of the dead by means of offering sacred water and food to fire) ceremony at the funeral of the father, thereby assuring his salvation, also helps explain the universality of parenthood among Hindus. Although the Sarda act banning child marriages was passed in 1929, millions of; girls continue to marry early. In the rural areas nearly 80 per cent of all teen-agers are married. It is not uncommon in some of the remote country side areas to see a rustic bridegroom bringing home a "baby bride" along with a basket full of dolls, rattles and other toys, apparently meant , to provide entertainment for the young lady of the house. 82 Per Cent Also to be rcckonrd with is the absence of any effec tive, widespread family plan ning among the rural popula tion who constitute about 82 per cent of the tola! popula tion. Birth control, even in the urban areas, is of recent origin. Realization of the urgency of the problem is evident from the provision of 270 million rupees IS56.7 million) for family planning in the third plan period.
