Bihar Panchayati Raj Minister Samrat Chaudhary has said that the state government is going to introduce an Act under which a person having more than two children would not be entitled to contest Panchayat elections.

Chaudharys statement came a day after Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said that the new Population control policy would not help to check the population of the country. Population could be controlled only through Education and awareness of Women.

Bihar is the first state where such a law was introduced in the past. It has helped to control the birth rate in urban areas. As education is lacking in rural areas, such a law should be implemented there to check population.
