Check population growth through girls’ education, says Nitish Kumar
The Hindu
“Data shows it helped in drastically reducing fertility rate”
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar asserted on Monday that it was not possible to ensure population control through laws. He was reacting to Union Minister Giriraj Singh’s call for a policy on population control in Bihar similar to the one launched by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. “Look at China or, for that matter, any other example”, Mr Kumar told a select group of media persons on the sidelines of his weekly janata ke durbar mein mukhyamantri (Chief Minister in people’s court) programme that resumed on Monday after gap of nearly five years. “It was eureka moment for my government when data showed that girls’ education up to class XII helped in drastically reducing fertility rate,” he said.
