#SardarVallabhbhaiPatel ,the #IronMan and freedom fighter .he is the man behind indian territorial and emotional unity and all india services. “…..you will not have a united india,if you have not a good all India service which has the independence to speak out its mind….”.

falling fertility around the world,including india,has brought demographics right at the centre of development debate. @elonmusk once described “demographics as destiny”. investing in human resources continues to be a challenge and priority,at multiple level,for governments across the world. long back aiims had installed a population clock in its premises which was easily visible at the intersection. it fell into disuse and i am happy to see it back in action.but crossing it always makes one thoughtful. we in india are adding 23.07 million (2.3 crores) to our population every year,ie,43.89 new lives every minute.our nearest competitor china adds 8.71 million ( 87 lakhs) a year,ie,16.57 every minute. our population is projected to continue rising until 2061-62,reaching a peak of ~ 1.7 billion ( 170 crores) before the gradual decline sets in. how it would impact consumption of resources,more so,with rising income and commitment of zero green house gas emission by 2070 needs re-imagination.@MoHFW_INDIA @UNFPAIndia @UNFPA @vargheseKgeorge
