World Population Day was established by United Nation and is celebrated on 11th July every year. Motivate behind setting up of such day is to put some light on the growing population. Earth’s population has massively grown now and its rate has explored to 8 billion and this ratio will increase rapidly with the course of time as well as it is expected to grow with devastating consequences.
UNFPA was established in UN to plan programs which works for population control measures. Its main purpose is to resolve all the issues that are rapidly increasing due to expanding population. Excessive population is a global problem faced by every country. The basic reason behind increasing population is over population which is growing rapidly. China is the country with highest population which is more than 116 million. States with second highest population is Maharashtra with the population of 93 million. And who can forget Bihar, as it’s the third highest state which is densely populated and is having 83 million people. World Population Day is an extremely important day which should be celebrated nationally as well as internationally. The motive behind celebrating this day is to spread awareness among people and also to inform about the cause and hasty effects of it. This day was declared on 11th July, 1990 and is observed every year the purpose behind the celebration of this day is to grab the attention towards the all the issues arising due to growing population. The issues which we face due to this increasing population are water pollution, air pollution, deforestation. We all knew that water is a limited resource and should be used very carefully. Covid-19 has one positive outcome which is it has reduced the pollution level. Because of complete lockdown the resources were not depleted and pollution was in control also the ozone layer depletion has reduced after the arrival of lockdown. The growing population has led to increasing poverty lack of employment opportunity and poor education facility. As we all known that seats and job opportunities are limited and rate of population is growing day by day which is ultimately resulting in increasing poverty. If poverty is spread all around, how can the upcoming generation will get proper education? And if they are not properly educated how the poverty levels can will be maintained?
Thus, we can sum up that the root cause of every problem is the rapidly growing population which needs to be controlled as soon as possible. The aim of celebrating this day is to focus on the overpopulation and difficulties created because of it. Celebration of such days spread awareness among each and every citizen. Overpopulation ultimately harms the ecosystem too. In the year 2021 this day is celebrated with the theme of ‘impact of Covid-19 pandemic on fertility’. To prevent from such problems the parents needs to have proper family planning. Another, motive of celebrating it is to spread awareness about family planning and how it is useful, power to women when to have children and also gender equality. Gender equality can only be stopped when we will decide to quit our stereotypical thinking.
