Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
Dr. Harsh Vardhan addresses
‘Population versus Planet’ Conference
“Population projection for India indicates that Total Fertility Rate is
expected to decline from 2.37 (2011-2015) to 1.73 (2031-35)”
“Various policy interventions stand testimony to our resolve towards India’s
rise as a Vishwa Guru”
Posted On: 20 FEB 2021 6:21PM by PIB
Delhi
Dr. Harsh Vardhan, Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare today
participated and expressed his views in WION and Zee Media’s ‘Population versus
Planet’ Conference which is a part of its year-long campaign called 'Mission
Sustainability: Population Vs Planet'.
This e-conclave marking the campaign’s launch will host deliberations
between numerous policy experts, demographic researchers & academicians on
socially important themes like population stabilisation, empowering women &
youth through education among various others as the world population witnesses
an increase from 1 billion in the year 1800 to 7.8 billion today.
Expressing his satisfaction at the timely importance of holding the
event, Dr. Harsh Vardhan said, “More people require more resources, and as the
population increases, the earth’s resources deplete.The population boom has
been affecting the planet and the human race in many adverse ways. People in
developing countries like India, feel the impact of environmental problems more
acutely.”
Thereafter he spoke on the exhaustive efforts undertaken by India to
encourage the adoption of family planning: India was one of the first countries
in the world to formulate a National Family Planning Program way back in 1952
which was later expanded to cover maternal and child health as well as adolescent
health and nutrition and has taken giant strides in spreading awareness &
enhancing adoption of family planning techniques while also ensuring healthier
lives for its citizens; even though India's population has increased from 36
crore in 1951 to 121.02 crore in 2011, the country has witnessed significant
decline in both fertility and mortality; the crude birth rate which was
recorded at 40.8 per 1000 in 1951 has declined to 20.0 in 2018;Total Fertility
Rate (TFR) has declined from 6.0 in 1951 to 2.2 in 2015-16; death rate in India
has declined from 7 in 2012 to 6.2 in 2018.
Speaking on India’s co-ordination in this regard with other developing
countries, he observed, “India has been an important and active member of
Family Planning 2020 partnership, advancing collaborative efforts to address
the policy, financing, delivery and socio-cultural barriers to women accessing
contraceptive information, services and supplies.The alliance, which is now
entering its next phase, provided an impetus to our national agenda of
protecting mothers and children through improving access to family planning
choices. From the time of the partnership’s initiation in 2012, India added
more than 1.5 crore additional users for modern contraceptives thereby
increasing the modern contraceptive use to 55%.” He also reminded that the
Partnership helped India add two new contraceptives, namely the
Injectable Medroxy Progesterone Acetate (MPA) and Centchroman in the
National contraceptive basket while the total allocation for Family Planning
during this period was to the tune of 3 billion USD. India not only achieved
its committed targets under the partnership, but also exceeded them.
On the achievements of the ambitious and overarching Mission Parivar
Vikas launched in 2016, Dr. Harsh Vardhan stated, “Family Planning Logistics
Management and Information system was developed under the Digital India
initiative for ensuring last mile availability of the contraceptives. A
holistic media campaign covered all aspects of Information Education & Communication
as well as Behaviour Change Communication and this is how demand generation was
achieved.Strengthening post pregnancy contraception with more than 10 million
pregnant women benefiting through Post-Partum Intra-Uterine Contraceptive
Device (PPIUCD) and improving quality remained the central tenets of the
program. As a result of our persistent efforts on three key fronts of Supplies,
Services and Information, India was able to provide modern contraceptive access
to 14.2 Crore beneficiaries and thus averting 5.6 Crore unintended pregnancies,
18.6 lakh unsafe abortion and 30 thousand maternal deaths in 2019.”
He also shared insights from the recent National Family Health Survey 5
that bolsters India’s remarkable achievements in Family Planning- 20 out of 22
States surveyed so far have shown an increase in modern contraceptive use and
21 showing a decline in unmet needs for contraception while 19 of them have
shown a decline in fertility. India is on the verge of achieving the
replacement Total Fertility Rate with 28 out of 36 states & UTs having
already achieved the replacement Total fertility rate of 2.1.
Expanding on the significance of the numbers on India’s future, Dr.
Harsh Vardhan said, “Population projection for India and States 2011-2036, released
in July 2020, indicates that the Total Fertility Rate is expected to decline
from 2.37 during 2011-2015 to 1.73 during 2031-35. India is now in a phase of
demographic transition with a substantial percentage of youth population. The
youth population in the age group of 15-24 years is projected to decline from
233 million in 2011 to 227 million in 2036. However, the proportion of the
working age population is expected to increase from 61% in 2011 to 65% in
2036.India is adding 12 million people to the working age population each
year.”
The Minister described how the exemplar leadership of Prime Minister
Shri Narendra Modiis providing a crucial leverage for this transmission to
happen, helping India’s youth fulfil their potential, meet all their aspirations
while contributing to the nation’s progress: “Ours is a government committed to
delivering a prosperous New India where no one is left behind. The Aatma
Nirbhar Bharat of our dreams will be built on the shoulders of empowered
youth. Our various policy interventions like National Education Policy,
Science Technology & Innovation Policy as well as programs like Start-up
India, Fit India and many other stand testimony to our resolve to facilitate
holistic growth of our youth ultimately leading to India’s rise as a Vishwa
Guru.”
Dr. Harsh Vardhan also spoke on the government’s commitment to women’s
health. “Over 9 lakh ASHA workers in the country are the drivers of health and
represent the empowered rural women.The Government is now ensuring inclusive
growth for all through our Honorable Prime Minister’s ambitious Aspirational
Districts Program where Health, Nutrition and Education forms important
pillars. India made remarkable progress in the past by reducing teenage
marriages from 47% to 26.8% and teenage fertility from 16% to 7%. India has
also expanded women’s education and female workforce participation.”
Noting this as a success story driven by political will and strengthened
by improved governance, provision of finances, meticulous planning, implementation
and effective monitoring and learnings, the HealthMinister concluded, “It is
evident that the impact of the interventions is now beginning to yield
dividends. Today, India is knocking at the door of achieving replacement level
fertility, and has made remarkable improvement in reducing maternal and child
mortality. With commitment and perseverance, India can achieve the goal of
population stabilization and advancing the development goals of the country.”
