Udupi, 12 July 2012: Earlier it was said ‘one is needed but two are enough’, now it is being said ‘we are two, one is enough for us’, but now we need to take precaution so that the time should not arise to say ‘we two are just enough’, said Udupi Jilla Panchayath President Katpadi Shankara Poojary. He was speaking upon inaugurating the district level World Popultion Control Day on Wedneday.
Speaking further he said that, if the population increases at the rate it is increasing now, there will not be possible to live in this planet and a situation might arise that no children should be born for the sake of controlling the population. So to avoid such situation ‘we are two, one is enough for us’ policy compulsorily, said Shakar Poojary. Today the scientific health field had made enormous progress and hence the rate of untimely deaths has reduced. This is a good development, but it is also a reason for increase of population, he said.
The program was presided over by Jilla Panchayath Vice President Jyothi Seetharam Shetty. Chief guests present on the occasion were Municipal Vice President Bharathi Chandrashekar and Dharmastala Gramabhivradhi Yojane Director Dugge Gowda. Dr. G. Shankar College Principal Prof. Ashwathamma presented special lecture on the subject. District Health – Family Welfare Officer Dr. Ramachandra Bayari gave introductory speech.
