Every country has holidays. And in India we have many holidays. Three are the national holidays and others are the festival holidays and some are in honor of the late noble personalities. But if I could create a new holiday it would be "Birth Control Day”. Presently this is not a holiday in India. On this day all men and women must volunteer for the birth control surgical operations as per medical advice. After this surgery men and women can enjoy normal sex without producing children. This day all surgeries must be free of cost. This shall greatly help controlling rising population growth. In this essay I will elaborate reasons and benefits of this holiday.
The single biggest human activity is increasing the population. The human needs for water, food, housing and fuel are making unprecedented demands on global and local ecosystems. Over population calls for enormous housing constructions this causes trees felling and jungle cutting thereby causing imbalance of ecology. In addition, more vehicles are needed that cause environment pollution by way of carbon mono oxide and carbon-dioxide. Furthermore Heat generation add to global warming.
Massive industrialization causes tremendous amount of gases in the atmosphere that has caused depletion in ozone layer resulting into shortage of Oxygen. Many other liquids discharged in form of effluents contaminate the earth thereby most fertile land turns into barren. In addition, Global warming represents a profound and emerging threat to biodiversity around the world.
In conclusion a gazette holiday as a “Birth Control Day” shall prove to be a boon for the society.
