    'Population control law' coming soon: Union Minister reveals PM Modi's next initiative project

    The population control law will be enforced in India soon.


    Digital Desk: As India's population grows steadily, Union Minister Prahlad Singh Patel alluded to the Narendra Modi-led central government's next policy. 


    According to Patel, the government will soon enact a population control law in the country.


    The passage of a population control bill in India – which could be one of the Modi government's most significant initiatives – has long been a contentious issue in India, frequently stoking political rivalries between the BJP and Congress.


    The Union Minister for Food Processing Industries was in Raipur to attend the ICAR-National Institute of Biotic Stress Management, Baronda's 'Garib Kalyan Sammelan.'


    "It will be brought shortly, don't worry," Patel said when inquired about a population control law. The rest will follow when such important and powerful judgments have been made." He also went after Chhattisgarh's ruling Congress, stating that it had failed to meet targets under various Central initiatives.


    "The state administration has only achieved 23% work under the Jal Jeevan Mission," Patel stated, "while the national average of objective achievement is 50%."


    "Water sources are not a concern in the state; the issue is management." Similarly, the state was unable to meet the PM Awas scheme's aim...," he said.


    According to Patel, the Narendra Modi government highlighted several previous achievements in the last eight years while interacting with beneficiaries of various Central schemes during the Gariba Kalyan Sammelan, saying that the Central government's basic mantra is' service, good governance, and welfare of the poor.'


    For many groups in India, introducing a population control law has been contentious, and the central government has hinted at doing so for several years. Notably, the Centre has yet to provide a definite statement on the bill.
