Answer:
Economic Measures:
1. Modernization of Agriculture:
In India, the primitive method of agriculture is still being followed in various parts of the country which needs to be replaced by better methods.
2. Industrial Development:
As the agricultural sector of the country is over burdened with huge population pressure thus industrialization can transfer this surplus working force from agriculture to other sectors.
Social Measures:
1. Postponement of the Marriage:
The raising of the minimum age of marriage both through legislation and arousing consciousness can play an effective role in checking population growth.
2. Improving the Status of Women:
In India women, more particularly rural women, are enjoying a very poor social status. Although the constitution of the country guaranteed equal status for men and women but a high degree of discrimination between them still prevails leading to a growth of family size.
Administrative Measures:
1. Introduction of Two-child Norm
2. Incentives and Disincentives:
The Government should introduce various incentive schemes for adopting small family norm such as cash incentive, preference for employment, preference for promotion etc.
