India's population will comprise a good percentage of old people in the next century - courtesy the increasing life span. With this in mind, the younger generation should be imparted the right type of education where they appreciated and respected the needs of their elders. Stating this at an informal chat here today, Dr. M. Vijayan Unni, Registrar-General and Census Commissioner of India, wnated more NGOs to enter the field population control and make the country a better place to live in as the population explosion might result in Uttar Pradesh alone having the country's present population figure after about 50 years.
