Population stabilisation schemes focus mainly on stabilising the population by making better health care facilities accessible to maximum people. Better medical facility increases the lifespan of an individual.

Government took a step in stabilising the growing population by increasing the marriageable age of girls to 18 years and 21 years for boys.

Measures like increased awareness of sex education in schools provided right information to the young so as to discourage believing in myths and having misconceptions about sex-related aspects.
