During the past few years Haryana and Rajasthan have passed laws that prospectively debar persons who do not adopt the two-child norm from contesting elections for Panchayats, Zilla Parishads and Nagarpalikas. The Population Policy of Madhya Pradesh states that " persons having more than two children after January 26, 2001 would not be eligible for contesting elections for panchayats, local bodies, mandis or cooperatives in the state. In case they get elected, and in the meantime they have the third child, they would be disqualified for that post". The policy of Rajasthan proposes " legal registration of marriage", compulsory observance of minimum age at marriage for availing of "government facilities and services" and "stiffer penal provisions for violation of the legal age at marriage". Madhya Pradesh also lays down that "from January 26, 2001, persons marrying before legal age at marriage will not be eligible to seek government employment in Madhya Pradesh". The legal age at marriage is made a criterion for those seeking jobs especially public jobs, getting admission in educational institutions, applying for loans, etc. in some States. The case of raising the age of marriage is certainly undeniable. The linking of family size to the right to contest elections is presumed to demonstrate a degree of political commitment that is considered essential. The argument that it would adversely affect the interests of women or the disadvantaged sections of society does not seem convincing, particularly in a setting when people themselves have realized the need to regulate family size. There is also a demand that such disqualifications should be extended to the Members of Legislative Assemblies and Parliament also.
INCENTIVES AND DISINCENTIVES AS RECOMMENDED BY THE NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL (NDC) COMMITTEE ON POPULATION (1992)
The Committee recommended to appropriately modify the incentives/ disincentives applicable to employees of Central/State/UT Governments, Autonomous Bodies, and Public Sector Undertakings etc. for adopting small family norm as follows:
Leave Travel Concessions, free or concessional rail / bus or air journeys wherever applicable, CGHS facilities / reimbursement of medical expenses, Maternity Leave benefit (excluding those directly affecting the health of the pregnant mother and foetus/new born), etc. are made available up to two children only.
Special increments for undergoing sterilization, incentive of lower rate of interest for house holding advances, interest bearing advances viz. vehicle loans should be available to the employees with two or less children only.
Priority in allotment of Government accommodation is given to employees who have adopted 2-child norm.
Any public servant violating the Child Marriage Restraint Act or who has more than 2 children should be debarred from promotion for a period of five years and birth of child beyond three should result in dismissal from service.
