I tried to pimp this story in the mark-to-market thread, but folks were so busy with the sexy details of financial policy to notice.
Indian Health Minister says that TV is the best contraception:
'Ghulam Nabi Azad, the Health and Family Welfare Minister [of India], has called for the country to redouble its efforts to bring electricity to all of its huge rural population.
'The introduction of the electric light and television sets to those vast areas that still did not have them would discourage procreation, he argued.
'"If there is electricity in every village, then people will watch TV till late at night and then fall asleep. They won't get a chance to produce children," Mr Azad said. "When there is no electricity there is nothing else to do but produce babies."
'He added: "Don't think that I am saying this in a lighter vein. I am serious. TV will have a great impact. It's a great medium to tackle the problem . . . 80 per cent of population growth can be reduced through TV."'
