CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction of the study
The concept of population education emerged in the context of population and development - the
two most pressing issues before humankind today. Both are closely interrelated and both
encompass a number of complex factors. Viewed as an epiphenomenon of the process of
development, population issues have aroused widespread concern among almost all the members
of the committee of nations. There have been undaunted endeavors to accelerate the pace of
socioeconomic development through the instrumentalities of science and technology and to
secure distributive justice for the people through different institutional mechanisms. But those are
confronted with some basic population related questions of how many people are going to inhabit
the earth, how they are to be supported and enabled to make their contributions to development
efforts, what they are going to bequeath to posterity and how long they are going to be sustained
by the natural and human resource base. The rapid population growth and the concomitant
problems of poverty, lack of adequate health and educational facilities, malnutrition, nonfulfillment of even the basic needs of a vast majority of the populace, paucity of employment
opportunities, dwindling natural resources and consequent environmental degradation constitute
critical dimensions of the present population and development phenomena.
The Population Education is included in the education system in the country to the realization of
the potential role.
Dr V.K.R.V Rao had stated in Bombay Seminar .The theme of the twin workshop was
Population Education: Tasks and Challenges.
