      ABSTRACT

      Since Independence 250 millions have been added, equivalent to the entire population of the Soviet Union with six times the land area of India. The increase every year is equal to the entire population of Australia which is 2–1/2 times the size of our country. Raising the age of marriage will not only have a demonstrable demographic impact, but will also lead to more responsible parenthood and help to safeguard the health of the mother and the child. It is well known that very early pregnancy leads to higher maternal and infant mortality. In a federal system, the sharing of Central resources with the States is a matter of considerable importance. In addition to individual compensation, Government is of the view that group incentives should now be introduced in a bold and imaginative manner so as to make family planning a mass movement with greater community involvement.
