Answer» No, I do not agree with the statement. - According to the 2011 census birth rate in India is 20.9 which is very high as compared to other developed countries,
- Main factors responsible for such a high birth rate are :
- Because of poverty, children at a very young age start helping their parents in earning. Hence, more children are welcomed.
- Religious and social attitudes in India are such that large families are preferred.
- Illiteracy, ignorance, and the nonavailability of birth control devices are also responsible for the high birth rate in India.
- There is a lack of awareness of the need for family planning.
- Thus, the birth rate in India is not controlled but is very high.
