उत्तर
A very good morning to jury members, friends and my fellow opponents. Today, I am going to speak for the topic 'our large population is not a cause of poverty but an asset, a resource'.
India has the youngest population in the world with a mean age of 24 years and also is the biggest provider of skilled manpower in the world. As more and more children are going to school now and getting educated, India provides maximum number of engineers to the world. It is also one of the largest markets for automobiles, high value foods, etc.
Large population means more intelligence that can be put to good effect and skilled population draws more projects from foreign companies.
I, therefore, agree with the view that our large population is not a cause of poverty but an asset as every hand can become an earning hand for the economy.
