Andhra CM Pushes For More Kids: Most Populous Nation Already, Need More?
India's population, exceeding 1.4 billion, strains resources, infrastructure, and the environment. Overcrowding fuels unemployment, poverty, and urban congestion, while high birth rates challenge healthcare and education systems.

Once a champion of family planning in the late 1990s, Naidu now warns that India's demographic advantage could vanish by 2047 if birth rates keep falling.
With the nation already the world's most populous, is this push for population growth a visionary strategy or a risky gamble?
