You are a educated person ma'm. You are rational and logical to understand the overall future scenario. These people think having more kids means more earning hands. They don't know they can raise their child/children if they stop at 1 or 2. Not to forget the social pressure of having a boy or more children due to rural mindset.
The education plays a huge role. In villages I still see people having 3 to 4 kids which means more stomach to feed until they earn some money themselves. This dependent generation will be our youth, but in the mean time this same generation is causing inequality, reason to commit crime etc. Child labor is the problem arises from this.
There is a contrast emerging in villages too because of education. The women associated with various economic and educational NGOs now know the benefit of having just two kids.
So its govt. responsibility to provide education to these people. If you go in rural India, there is no physical presence of teachers but on paper they are the most honest people in our country. Its govt. duty to make it sure that such teachers should be stripped of their degrees.
Another phenomenon I want to share is that few NGOs who think naxalite movement is good and its fine to take up arms and kill security personal (from my own personal experience) are increasing their depth in the society along with their numbers.
They use these NGOs to propagate anti-state feelings by INCEPTION of idea that its govt.'s fault which is cause of the misery's of these people rather than the people itself.
I have witnessed how these NGOs are influencing these people to go against the govt. and the results are showing now. These are highly educated people(NGO workers) who have become another headache of govt. coz they can't stop these people from spreading education at the same time can't stop them from taking advantage of these people.
As the population is growing, this idea has taken up pace. Now they are focusing on targetting govt. then doing what they were meant to do.
So, people might stop having more kids but then we will have a more anti-govt. society in every corner of our country irrespective of development work govt. try to do.
Making these people responsible their family size makes them easy target of extremist but non-violent ideology is a major side effect.
Unless and until govt. take strict measures to increase the efficiency of existing educational system and increasing its number, we are sending these poor people to become a future challenge. Govt. has to look at the bigger picture and indirect effects.
