We Need More Than 2 Children For Societal Survival: RSS Chief
We need more than two or three, this is what population science says. The number is important because society should survive - Mohan Bhagwat, RSS chief
New Delhi: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday made a strong pitch for maintaining a growth rate of 2.1 and said that this is essential for the "survival of any society."
Bhagwat’s stirring remarks about family, fertility rate and its importance in the preservation of any society came during his address at the ‘Kathale Kul (clan) Sammelan’ in Maharashtra’s Nagpur.
The RSS chief voiced concerns over the falling population graph and also cited examples of how certain languages and societies vanished as they couldn’t keep pace with time.
“The population should not go below 2.1, our country's population policy was decided in 1998-2002. The population of a society should not be less than 2.1,” Bhagwat opined.
He also stated that modern population science says that when the fertility rate of any society goes below 2.1, it marks the beginning of the end of that society.
"The decline in population is a matter of concern. Modern population science says that when the population (fertility rate) of a society goes below 2.1, that society vanishes from the earth,” said the RSS chief.
