MoS Health Dr Bharati Pravin Pawar

Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare, Dr Bharati Pravin Pawar emphasised the need for greater discussion and awareness on the population as India is estimated to become the most populous country by 2027.

“Population policy should intend to stabilise population and it requires both macro and micro approach. The government is ensuring that everyone gets clean fuel, house, clean water and health care,” the union minister said as she inaugurated and presided over the Seminar on Population, Human Capital and Sustainable Development (healthy people – healthy future), recently.
