Population Awareness and The Impact of Educational Interventions

The population of a country is its main asset. But rapid growth of population has an adverse effect on development sector. Rapid population growth and illiteracy are among the crucial problems faced by many developing countries including India. one of the effective means to tackle the problem of population is to spread more specifically Education, the population Awareness. Population Education is an integral part of the overall development to improve the national and individual’s quality of life. Keeping in view the importance of the problem, an effort has been made in the present study to investigate and identify the level of population awareness among the people of the age group 15 to 45, and to find out different Educational Interventions providing Population Education and their impact on the community people. I have tried to measure knowledge, attitudes and practices with reference to basic demographic data and concepts and also the inter relationship between population with that of developmental aspects like population situation, environment and resource, development, quality of life, family welfare and health and nutrition, thus the present study is an humble attempt to present. Population Awareness among the people in a simplified way as possible and also through a comprehensive approach. In the present book I have also discussed variety of factors and contents of Population Education which affects the achievement of the desired quality of life. I hope this book will be helpful and inspiring to the teachers, students and researchers relating to Population Education and also for extension workers engaged in grass-roots levels.
