"Birth rate in India is very high." Mention two reasons in support of the statement.
Solution
- Illiteracy: Many people in rural regions are illiterate, uneducated, and superstitious, with limited knowledge of the human reproductive system.
- Religious and social customs: Cultural beliefs and traditions can deter people from following family planning measures.
- Desire for a male child: Many Indian households emphasise male offspring for carrying on the family name and supporting elderly parents, which leads to the birth of several children in search of a son.
- Inadequate access to family planning services: The scarcity of contraceptives, combined with poverty and a lack of information, prevents people from choosing small family practices, adding to the persistently high birth rate.
