 statement of objects and reasonsrate of population growth in the country has assumed alarming proportion during the last five decades, the population of the country has increased by 3 times india's population was 33 crores only in 1951 when india attained independence; it is over one hundred crore today the average increase is over 15 crore per year this tremendous increase in population offsets all benefits of development that take place in the country therefore elementary essential services and basic facilities have not been provided to all the people residing in the country crores of people are living in sub-human conditions in slums and most of them are seen defecating in the open this abhominable practice is leading to insanitary conditions which are the source of spreading bacteria and breeding germs adversely affecting the health and well-being of the people residing in the neighbourhood standard of living is reciprocal even if one is leading a very protected life, but if neighbourhood is dirty, he is bound to fall ill that is so because germs are no respector of the status of the person whom they attack the problem of the increasing population adds to the problem of unemployment the number of the unemployed in the country as registered in the employment exchanges are overwhelming; out of whom many lakhs are graduates the number of the unemployed must be more on two counts firstly, not all the unemployed get themselves registered; and secondly, only persons upto the age of 25 years are registered in the employment exchanges as after that age, they are not eligible for government services moreover the crimes in the country particularly related to robberies and extortions, are increasing because the young employed are desperately in need of money to feed themselves merely making people self-conscious about the need to have a small family has not produced the desired results of restricting the population growth hence, it has become imperative that a scheme of incentives and disincentives should be formulated in the form of an act this could help in restricting the population growth needless to emphasize that if the population is not controlled, the country is doomed to disaster and if the population keeps on increasing, most metropolitan and big cities would become unliveable with multitudes of men and women moving about as if there were big railway platforms the unprecedented increase in population has made most cities run in two directions; authorized and unauthorized constructions because there is acute shortage of dwelling units the result is that like the bad penny driving out the good penny, the unauthorized constructions are overtaking the authorized ones this process has made the people antiplanning and even green areas are becoming a concrete jungle of haphazard and ugly growth unauthorised constructions have also led to corruption at all levels the bill seeks to provide for different measures and methods for population control rajiv shukla financial memorandumclause 8 provides that government shall provide funds to the genuine ngos to work in rural areas for family planning the bill if enacted will involve expenditure from the consolidated fund of india it is estimated that a sum of rupees ten crores may involve as recurring expenditure per annum no non-recurring expenditure will involve as all the measures suggested are of administrative nature and they are a part of the existing governmental apparatus further the reward suggested for sterilization and giving nirodh to men and mala to women (both contraceptives) free of cost are already a part of government of india's family welfare programme memorandum regarding delegated legislationclause 9 of the bill empowers the central government to make rules for carrying out the provisions of the bill as the rules to be made will relate to matters of details only, the delegation of legislative power is of a normal character
