Public Awareness about Population Explosion

Growing population in Bangladesh is the burning question of the day. It is number one problem of our country. Every year more than two million people are added to our population. The problem is now out of control. It has now come to the position of explosion. If the present alarming rate of population growth goes on, the population of the country will be doubled within fifteen years. We should, thereby, learn well all about this great problem. We should realise the serious consequences of rapid growth of population. There are various ways that should be followed to stop the high birth rate. Early marriage should be banned. No family should be allowed to have more than two children. Our women should be educated so that they can know how to lead a happy, healthy and peaceful life. There should be wide publicity about the serious consequence of high birth rate through radio, TV and other mass media.
