One of the underplayed success stories in India has been its steady and natural move towards population stabilisation. The Census data makes clear that the population growth rate has declined from 24.7 per cent in 1971-81 to 17.7 per cent in 2001-2011. This decline has been witnessed across regions and communities.
Although some data is yet to come in, the National Family Health Survey-5 shows that 19 of the 17 states and 5 Union Territories have managed to get their Total Fertility Rate (TFR) – the average number of children born per woman – to less than 2.1. This number 2.1 is critical because it is the level at which a population exactly replaces itself from one generation to the next. At a seminar organised last week by the Population Foundation of India on this new data, demographer K.S. James, director of the International Institute for Population Sciences, IIPS, the organisation that executes the NFHS, termed this a “remarkable development”.
