Patna: Rajya Sabha Member and former State President JD (U) Bashishhtha Narayan Singh said the Kumar Nithish model which was tied with the improvement of women’s socio-education has proven to be more effective than other methods, including those who base themselves on the legal force to bring population control.
Upholding the BR Ambedkar line, which, as far as in 1938 said in his essay that “without education, population control was impossible”, Singh said CM Nith Kumar had adhered to the approach and stress in female mass education to examine fertility assessing.
Singh said several countries such as Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Odisha and Haryana have become the first to have their separate population control laws.
“So far, there have been no reviews and assessments that have been made to ensure the extent of the laws have been effective in population control in these countries,” said Singh, added that the Government of Vasundhara Raje in Rajasthan, in fact, changed the law on In 2018, because it was proven ineffective in population control and there were also protests from government and employees of the provisions of Law 2000.
Reports of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) -5 on Bihar had shown that in 2015-16 percentage of women tenth -Pass is 22.80%, and their fertility rate is 3.4%.
But in 2019-20, XII-Pass women contributed 28%, while their fertility rate was 3%.
