Lecture 40

The document discusses India's population policy. It notes that India currently has a population explosion due to a plunging death rate and birth rate that is lagging behind. The policy aims to stabilize population growth by reducing the total fertility rate (TFR) to the replacement level of 2.1 births per woman. However, even if this is achieved, population momentum may continue population growth for 3 decades. The policy's goals are to balance resources and population by 2020 and promote family planning as an entitlement. Objectives include reducing population growth rate and TFR by 2004 and 2010, with universal access to family planning methods by 2010. Strategies to achieve this include advocacy, increasing ownership, reducing unmet need for family planning, and ensuring
