India's fertility rate has dramatically decreased over the past century, dropping from an average of 5.7-6 children per woman to around 2.01 in 2022, below replacement level.
Nara Chandrababu Naidu, the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, shifted from promoting population control to encouraging families to have more children, reflecting concerns over declining birth rates.
Political leaders in southern India, traditionally focused on limiting family sizes, are now advocating for increased birth rates due to fears of long-term population decline.
With India's population growth now a point of concern, leaders like M.K. Stalin echo calls for larger families, challenging decades of small family norms.
