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.
