PIP: India, under prime minister Rajiv Ghandi, has revamped its population policy, installing new goals, incentives, and emphasis on child health and later marriage. At the current growth rate of 2.2 % per year, India will reach 1.5 billion by 2025, becoming the world's most populous nation. New targets of the "national family welfare program" include reducing growth to 1.9% raising use of contraception from 35 to 42%, and cutting the birth rate from 33 to 29.1/1000, all by 1990. There will be an attempt to raise the average age of marriage for women by fostering education and employment. Immunization of all children, and supplementing their diets with iron, iodine and vitamin A will be among the efforts to use village health services more effectively. Non-government agencies and schools will participate in educating and motivating people. Attractive incentives such as pensions, insurance and bonds will be offered to those with 1 child or no sons.
