    Population seven billion and counting...... can India feed its people?

 

Good morning everyone present here. I am going to express my views on ‘Population seven billion and counting...... can India feed its people?’ And I am going to speak against the motion. Of all the problems ailing the entire mankind, population is the most threatening.  Sir David Attenborough has very wisely said: “Instead of controlling the environment for the benefit of the population, maybe we should control the population to ensure the survival of our environment.”


Undoubtedly the exponential growth in the world population has posed serious threats to mankind. According to the UNICEF estimates an average of 353,000 babies are born each day around the world. Owing to the advancement in standards of living and better medical facilities, the mortality rate is the lowest. More number of babies means more demand for food, more urbanization, more industrialization, more consumption of natural resources, more burning of fossil fuel which means more emission of green house and toxic gases into the atmosphere.

 

India is the second largest populated country in the world. If the population keeps growing at the current threatening rate, soon the natural resources will collapse. The indicators of the collapse have begun blinking. The pollution levels in all the cities have reached threatening levels. Just recently, schools and colleges have to be closed down because of the dangerous pollution level. India can’t afford more uncontrolled population growth!

 

The planet earth has already reached a critical state. It is like an ailing planet. The environment has already been damaged critically. Global warming, world forests disappearing at alarming rate, and invaluable plants and animals going extinct at unrelenting pace have already jeopardized our beautiful planet. There is one cause at the root of all problems—population explosion. If the population is not controlled immediately, especially in the developing countries, the world is bound to face environmental catastrophe. There may come a day when the natural life-supporting system might fail owing to undue burden of human population on them.

 

I appeal the Government and the people to join hands to tackle the menace of uncontrolled population explosion before it is too late!
