They said that by having adequate number of children, we can educate and train them in a good way. They said that Pakistan was one of the countries in the world whose population was growing very fast, due to which the balance between resources and population was deteriorating. They said that every child born brings with it the right to basic needs and the resources of a developing country like Pakistan were not enough to meet all the basic needs of the population. The Speakers said that currently Pakistan was being counted as the fifth largest country in the world with excess population. This is why every government was under pressure due to population growth, they added. DO Population also spoke on the occasion.
