Yes, I do agree with the statement. 

  • According to the 2011 Census, the birth rate in India is 20.9 which is low as compared to the 2001 Census. 
  • There are certain factors responsible for the declining birth rate.
  •  Awareness about health facilities. 
  • Joint Family System is now shaped into a nuclear family system.
  • The cost of education is increased per child. 
  • Under the family planning programme, contraceptive pills are available.
  • Due to all these reasons, the birth rate is declining in India.
