Question
The birth rate in India is controlled.
✓

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 non-availability 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.
