Health and Family Planning

The govt. lately reitterated on the fact that India needs to control the population rise. The health minister, Ghulam Nabi Azad, however also mentioned that though the govt. will give incentives to small families but there won't be any disincentivesfor the larger families.
This he said on the mention of the stringent and forceful laws of Sanjay Gandhi. I suddenly realised that all i know about Sanjay Gandhi is that he was notorious for initiating the family planning drive. The forceful sterilisation of men and women at health camps had created a terror in the minds of the common and ignorant masses. It took a lot of time for the rural population of the country to come out of that shock and this also made the govt. and teh policy makers think of new and friendly ways of luring the people to plan their families. and the govt i must say is doing a fair job of trying to put their point of view infront of the people in  the form of informative ad campaigns through tv and radio and folk media.

Following is an ad put up to catch on to the nerve of the common masses, as Juhi Chawla is a widely known tv  actress and as or country folk highly follow and look up to actors.
