India is a peace – loving country and has been the member of the United Nations from the very existence of the United Nation Organisation. India has always played a key role in bringing peace to various countries on war and thus fulfilling the objective of the UNO. It has also been an active member of the various agencies of the UNO like the UNESCO, the WHO and the UNICEF. Once the President of the General Assembly of the UNO was Mrs. Vijayalakshmi Pandit. India has also been elected as a member of the Security Council. Soon after the World War II, it was observed that many countries of the world got divided into two major groups. These two groups of various countries could not tolerate any development or progress of the member nations of the other group which was lead by the then Soviet Union. Many countries were tempted to join these groups based on the military pacts. It was appearing that there could be another war the way things were moving. Such a war would have stopped the progress and new development activities taking place in India. Poor countries were poised for a great danger to their existence. It was our late Prime Minister Panidt Jawahar Lal Nehru who foresaw the danger and was deeply concerned. He started consultations and discussions with leaders of various countries like Egypt and Yugoslavia. At the same time, he began to caution the poor nations about the disastrous impacts and consequences of the war and danger to the freedom of these nations. Thus leaders of these countries joined under one umbrella and jointly laid down five principles of cooperation with each other. Thus the Non – Aligned Movement took birth and it became a big movement.

The population problem in India has acquired such a serious dimension that the stage has arrived to realize that adherence to the principle of voluntariness will not do. A family planning programme based on only education, persuasion and access to contraceptive facilities is simply not enough. There is need to formulate a population control policy which would envisage supplementation of dedicated efforts in these areas. These schemes need a drastic change rather than the present incentives and disincentives – a carrot and stick approach just to nudge the country a two child family norm. In recent past, there has been a spate of accidents involving school children getting plunged with their school bus or getting crushed under the cruel wheels of a speeding bus/truck. Such incidents really lacerate the psyche of any civilized society. Though the drivers of such vehicles do deserve severe punishments, but the other aspect of concern is the overcrowding in the buses. This is all due to increase in population without any considerations at any level or thought by the society. Overcrowding due to more population symbolizes the ugly face of a leadership that has displayed a mind – boggling abdication of responsibility. Even as the country is bursting at the seams every government getting power at the centre has done nothing but twiddle its thumbs. Although slated to become the most populous nation on Earth within the next two decades, India does not have a population control policy in place.
