The birth rate in India is controlled.

No, I do not agree with the statement. 

• According to the 2011 census birth rate in India is 20.9 which is very high as compared to other developed countries, 
• Main factors responsible for such a high birth rate are : 
• Because of poverty, children at a very young age start helping their parents in earning. Hence, more children are welcomed. 
• Religious and social attitudes in India are such that large families are preferred. 
• Illiteracy, ignorance, and the nonavailability of birth control devices are also responsible for the high birth rate in India. 
• There is a lack of awareness of the need for family planning. 
• Thus, the birth rate in India is not controlled but is very high.
