U.N.GENERAL ASSEMBLY PROCLAIMED ‘1974’ AS THE WORLD POPULATION YEAR.

Stamp Information	:	In the resolution 2683 (XXV) adopted on December 11, 1970, the United Nations General Assembly designated '1974' as World Population Year. The main objectives of the year were defined as- (a) improved knowledge of and information on population trends and prospects and associated factors; (b) sharpened awareness of population problems and their social and economic implications; (c) effective education on population, family life and reproductive functions through formal and other educational systems; (d) adoption and elaboration of population policies; and (e) expansion of international technical assistance to those countries which desires it and in accordance with their needs. This is an year of commitment of the world community to work towards ensuring a better quality of life for man. The focal point of the observance of the World Population Year is the Population Conference that is being convened by the United Nations at Bucharest, Romania in August 1974 at which it is expected that a World Population Plan of Action will be adopted by the participating nations. India's population, 548 million at the 1971 Census, constitutes about a seventh of the World population. India was among the earliest to recognise the population factor as an major issue.
