Henk Crop: Runaway population is a curse and sensible men/women have known for a long time the importance and need for family planning. MargaretSanger was a well known American activist who was much harassed in USA when she tried to open clinics to disseminate knowledge about family planning.



Her ideas were much appreciated in far away country like India where In 1951, India became the first country in the developing world to create a state-sponsored family planning program, the National Family Planning Program. The program's primary objectives were to lower fertility rates and slow population growth as a means to propel economic development.



The first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru was one of the most important sponsor and enthusiast for official family planning in India in the year 1952.



What we need very badly is humane population control otherwise in our grandchildren’s time, our planet will drown in overpopulation.
