Manu Gaur also informed the Honorable President that with the current state of growth the population of India will reach 200 crores by the year 2050, which in turn will lead to issues like poverty, unemployment, starvation, pollution, crime, and land dispute. Its high time that the population law is implemented.

TAXAB’s President also updated the president that since independence, 35 private member bills have been brought out, 15 by Congress MPs, 8 by BJP MPs, 5 byTDP MPs, 2 by AIDMK, 1 each by TMC, RSP, SP, MNS, and RJD. But sadly, none were discussed in Parliament.

Recently under the leadership of Dr. Sanjeev Baliyan, 125 MPs had submitted a private member bill in the Winter Session, it was accepted by Honorable Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan, but again time was not allocated for discussion.

In 1992, then Health Minister, Shri ML Fotedar brought the 79th Constitution Amendment Bill in the Rajya Sabha on the provision of limiting two children to contest elections, which is still pending.

The President lauded the efforts of TAXAB’s efforts for population control and suggested to organize different programs to educate the next generation on the seriousness of this subject.
