Chief Minister Nadvised every young person should get married and have children."Marriage is a personal affair. Still, I am touching upon the issue as many youths these days are less interested in getting married. This is not good for individuals and society," Naidu said while interacting with students in temple townon Saturday. "If our predecessors had also lacked interest in marriage, we all would not have come on earth," he said.For the last few years, the CM has been expressing serious concern over the falling popular growth in the state. He told the youth how Japan is suffering on account of fall in youth population."If you remain unmarried and choose not to have kids, you will depend on robots for all sorts of help. Robots can be of help to some extent but cannot replace humans," the CM exhorted.During his earlier stint as CM of undivided Andhra Pradesh, Naidu promoted population control and won awards. But, currently he has been campaigning for the reverse.He said population growth has stagnated in the state. "Negative growth will start. Then, we will have more senior citizens than youngsters," he expressed his worry.
