The term "Family planning" is now a wide-spread and popular slogan. It means the planning for the family. According to this, plans are devised how to live in a planned way, which is meant for happiness and peace in every family. This covers how to control birth rate.
Throughout the whole world the family planning has become a phenomenal headachefor those who always think about the interest of humanity. Ours is a country with small areas. But within this country the density of population is greater than that of any other country with a big area. Our resources are limited but the rate at which the population is increasing is so high. So to arrest the high rate of population, the government has earmarked a separate ministry under which many people are working to popularize the family planning scheme among the people. The people are being convinced of the advantage expected from family planning. The instances of the developed countries of the world are to be cited before them so that they can more easily be persuaded in this line. They are to be liberated from the illusion (ar) of the religious notion that they have. Correct religious interpretation is to be presented before the illiterate people. To be successful in this line, spread of education is a must. The light of education is to be disseminated among the unlettered masses. This will facilitate the adoption of family planning. In every nook and corner the people appointed under the family planning scheme should be active. Radio and television are to be easily available in the remotest corner of the country. They can be regarded as the best modern media to popularize the family planning. If the educated section of the population comes forward and sets examples, the ordinary people will see the fruits of the scheme and will gladly come forward to accept it. This heavy responsibility has fallen on the lettered people and they must play a vital role. Still we have time to realize that we are a small but a powerful nation which can keep pace with the progressive world. Our progress and prosperity will be easy if we adopt the measures of family planning and this cannot be isolated from progress and prosperity.
