Mohan Bhagwat, the leader of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), recently addressed the topic of population and birth rates during a press conference at the ‘100 Years of Sangh Yatra: New Horizons’ event, commemorating the RSS’s centenary in New Delhi. Bhagwat suggested that individuals in the country should aim to have three children, suggesting a potential risk of population reduction if the birth rate decreases. This statement has spurred discussions and analysis. Globally, many countries are implementing measures to encourage larger families. These nations provide various incentives to parents, including financial aid and other benefits, in an effort to address declining birth rates.
