But I don’t think such Organisations are always totally Service oriented.
I need some more alternatives..

The experience of reality is that people are surprisingly short sighted and selfish – because they are too busy protecting the rights of the birth givers and not of those who are born. Children require commitment of not only the parent, but also the society at large, if they have to be productive (not just reproductive) individuals and engage in nation building.

The basic issue here is that neither the government, nor the parents (specially rural parents who comprise bulk of the population) are able to create/provide opportunities for their children, and in the end, the children suffer. Mumbai’s mega slums are a testimony to that, how many children are forced to beg because their parents desire it. I am totally compassionate towards children, which is why it would be wrong to subject them to a lifetime of misery simply by being born in a country where there is no dignity for any human life. The fault lies with the birth givers, not the innocent ones who are born. The “Hum Do Humare Do” campaign should be changed to “Hum Do, Humare None!”.

A little sacrifice would go a long way.

So far I only have seen you focus on this issue on whether this is the right thing to do. The philosophy of it can be argued forever. It is like the abortion debate, there is no right answer. You seem to have completely ignored the enforcement process, what this process will look like, what other effects it will produce, and so on. To me, the scheme is too grand to begin with. You have to overcome all sorts of institutional, religious and cultural barriers. As I think through the enforcement process and its challenges, I am not able to get even a rough idea of the consequences and side effects. I conclude that it is easier to try for the same result (that is lower births) through positive reinforcement, economic growth, education, empowerment etc. The most telling statistic is the decline in growth rate in the more affluent and educated societies. That is the way to go.

Sum reqd = 20,000 Crore Rs = $5 Billion.

Sell off the stupid PSUs, stream line the govt, improve tax collections (a 2% surcharge on direct taxes yields $1 Billion) and you have the amount.

I find it a trifle silly when people passionately argue about unimplementable measures rather than going hammer and tongs at things that can really be done: say, provision of contraceptive devices even in rural areas.

What is the difference between a child and a cattle?Are not they both tradeable commodities?
Suppose I have a right to have a cattle but I do not have the fodder to feed it, so what do I do? I sell it to a person who would like to have a cattle and can feed it too. Similarly, I cannot guarantee a good quality of life to my would-be children so I sell my right to have them to a person who can guarantee them.
What if one’s only child dies due to “poverity”?Of course we can always have an amendment and grant another permit for half a permit on reproduction of the death certificate.Then poor Gangu will run from pillar to post in our corruption free country for having a child of his own.
Some idiots like Amartya Sen have wasted their time in the dirty climate of the Indian Subcontinent and lunatically “proven” that development, better healthcare, nutrition, education lead to fall in fertility rate.Shall we throw their studies into dustbin?
Our good old Sanjay gandhi was also a great man(his samadhi, media coverage of his birth anniversary, and umpteen number of Government Institutions in his name testify that) who believed in “garibi hatao”. So what do we do: “garib hatao”.Sterlise all the bloody “garibs” and “not so garibs” and Population problem get solved in minutes. short and simple! no complexities!
Result: To this day democratically elected Governments shudder at the thought of any nationwide program to check population growth.
So if we have the Permit-Raj I will not have to face these “filthy beggars”.The world will suddenly be a better place to live in.

With fewer people to compete for resources there won’t be any suicides by farmers, there won’t be any starvation deaths(there will be godowns full of grains of course, there won’t be any unemployment(IT is always there) and certainly there won’t be any scramble for oil, no Iraq!,no nuclear weapons!no religious terrorism!no vietnam!no world war!no global warming!
The Earth wil indeed become a heaven!
My friends! the problems which are staring us in the face are not so much because we are so many but because we lack human compassion(that’s why we can think of selling and buying babies, make mockery of our fellow human beings), because of the greed to get more and more. An idiot called Gandhi and some of his associates had also believed in such thoughts of less greed and more compassion but we were not listening then.Are we listening now?

As for this post, I have nothing to say. I don’t wish to indulge in rhetorical arguments.

And I hope you fed the poor child.
