RSS resolution on national population policy

The topic provides context for ongoing debates regarding population policy and demographic shifts in India, but as it reflects the stance of a non-governmental organization rather than a formal government policy or legislative proposal, it serves as background material rather than a direct exam topic.

Notes

The Rashtra Sevika Samiti has advocated for a uniform national population policy applicable to all communities.
The organisation expresses concern over 'population imbalance' and its impact on national identity and security.
The resolution argues that population growth is a critical factor in determining a nation's future.
While India's overall population growth rate has declined due to past control measures, the organisation highlights demographic shifts among religious communities as a cause for policy review.

Part of a longer story

This is day 1 of 2 in RSS and affiliates' advocacy for a national population policy, which has been running since 27 July 2026. Reading it whole is usually worth more than reading today alone — the exam asks how something developed.
