Nitish Kumar's Explanation on Population Control, Girls' Education Creates Row| Oneindia

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar made controversial remarks, emphasising girls' education to curb population growth in the state assembly.

The comments elicited smiles, notably from Deputy Tejashwi Yadav, while some women MLAs seemed uncomfortable.

Kumar's statements followed the release of a contentious caste survey report on economic conditions.

In a video, he cited a drop in fertility rates from 4.3% to 2.9%, asserting that a matriculate girl averages 2%, and completing school education reduces it to 1.7% nationally.
