    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is also the issue of population growth, which, unfortunately, has not been adequately addressed. The rate of population growth in this country is almost unsustainable, in the sense that whatever revenue that the Government might receive cannot be enough to sustain even the social safety nets that we are talking about, be it in education, healthcare or provision of food. This is because the population growth rate outstrips what the nation is able to generate. We have not adequately addressed that particular factor. For about two decades now, we have not been addressing population explosion. We now have the problem of high cost of living, and we are still not addressing it. It will be difficult for us to change the scenario in favour of an economic growth orientation."
