Solution:-

(i) People should be made aware of the benefits of having small families as well as the drawbacks of having a large family. Education should change the orthodox view, which is to have at least one son, especially in Indian society.

(ii) Married couples should be taught to postpone the birth of their first child, space the second with enough room for healthy upbringing, and avoid having a third kid. People should be encouraged to use family planning methods to avoid becoming pregnant. Condoms, intrauterine devices, and oral tablets are examples of such devices for both men and women.
