India's powerful Hindu group chief urges three-child families as fertility rates fall
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat stresses that a three-child norm is needed as India's fertility rate has dropped to 1.9, below replacement level, risking population decline, officials say.
Mohan Bhagwat, chief of the RSS, urged Indian couples to have three children for population balance, stating it is in the national interest.
India's total fertility rate has dropped to less than two children per woman, according to the UN Population Fund's 2025 report, reflecting concerns about demographic stability.
